Index
There are a number of things that make this book stand out. The authors do a very nice job explaining what each of the components do, how a gamer should view those components, and what options are most important. For instance, Intel's hyperthreading technology may sound really cool, but most games aren't coded to take full advantage of that. Therefore, the AMD CPU with a slower clock speed actually outperforms the Intel Pentium 4. The logical analysis of those types of issues makes the book valuable even if you're *not* necessarily building a gaming system. I also like how they actually recommend makes and models of components, like CPUs, monitors, and sound cards.
