PC Powerplay - November 1998

(image of a CRT monitor with a Quake II enemy walking out of the screen) Don't play games. Live them. This monitor has a monster 21" screen, which is about as big as it gets. For gamers, that's about as good as it gets. The screen isn't just bigger, it's flatter too. There is no better upgrade you can make. You will no longer be merely playing games. You will be living them.

The $599 Do-All PC System
Maximum PC - April 2011

THE $599 DO-ALL PC SYSTEM Building a PC for $600 is an exercise in compromise and balance. You'll have to give up some performance, but it’s possible to build a forward-looking system that can accept beefier parts in the future - and still afford a copy of Windows 7.

ATI Brand Retired By the end of 2010, the ATI brand - for years a mainstay in the world of discrete graphics - will cease to be used on new graphics products. After chipmaker AMD bought ATI in 2006, it continued to label its graphics products with the ATI brand, which had widespread recognition among gamers and video enthusiasts. But according to AMD, a recent survey conducted across the United States, United Kingdom, and China found that the AMD brand was stronger than ATI against graphics competitors.

Valve Confirms the Steam Box Will Run Linux Gabe Newell, co-founder and CEO of Valve, confirmed in a recent interview with The Verge that the Steam box will run on a flavor of Linux. Avid PC gamers have always been tied to Windows for their gaming needs, but with Steam now supported by Linux, and Linux-based hardware on the horizon, an alternative OS for gaming seems viable.
