We are BuyDirectPC Computer Corporation, e-tailer of custom desktop and gaming systems, as well as cube PC's, Shuttle XPC's and custom-tailored laptops. Founded in 2000, we have experienced ongoing growth and while many other upstart companies were going out of business following the dot-com crash, we have successfully maintained our position of first-echelon custom PC provider. Today, many individuals and businesses trust our expertise to deliver a machine built to their specs from the finest off-the-shelf components, rigorously tested and carefully shipped for the best out-of-the-box experience. With so many cases of retailers taking advantage of their customers' trust and either jacking up the price, selling terribly misconfigured and untested systems or even using refurbished parts, our company has always made sure we maintained our top-tier retailer status by adhering to a strict ethical code, as well as employing only skilled individuals. http://buydirectpc.com/web/online/about-us
Intro
HD gaming: playing any of the 2008 Games for Windows titles with High quality settings at 1680x1050 (20 and 22-inch widescreen LCD monitor) or 1280x1024 (19-inch LCD monitor) resolution. A gaming system is not simply a desktop you play games on; it must be a properly-configured, well-tuned and rigorously tested machine. Since most gamers do not have thousands to drop on their setup, performance/dollar and energy-efficiency have to be a part of the equation as well.
HD Gaming
High-definition (HD) video generally refers to any video system of higher resolution than standard-definition (SD) video, most commonly at display resolutions of 1280×720 (720p) or 1920×1080 (1080i or 1080p) where i is for interlaced video and p is for progressive.

XHD Gaming
Extreme High Definition, or XHD, is a term coined by NVIDIA and Dell at the Consumer Electronics Show 2006 to emphasize gaming at resolutions, higher than High Definition. The term was created as a marketing term for NVIDIA's Quad SLI setup and Dell's 3007WFP monitor.
According to NVIDIA, XHD is achieved by using one or two dual-link DVI ports. This higher bandwidth allows the cards to reach a maximum resolution of 2560x1600. The resolutions 1920x1200 and 1680x1050 are also classed as XHD resolutions, even though they do not match the XHD specification of 4x1080i / 2x1080p stated on the XHD site.
To experience XHD, you need three supporting components – an NVIDIA GPU , an XHD monitor, and software that support XHD. XHD lets you spread your work over the entire desktop providing over 20% more desktop space than normal 4:3 aspect ratio monitors. At XHD screen resolutions of 1680x1050 and 1920x1200, games have up to 65% more image detail than games viewed on common 1024x768 notebook screens.
