I own a quad core Athlon II X4 630 with 8GB of RAM and a EVGA 9600GT KO graphics card. But this is nothing compared to having a real gaming console like Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3. They are the real beast when it comes to playing games. It should also be noticed that Wii even though it has much less hardware capability than its competition, it does have a lot of interactive games available and there is a great technical support with up to 90 months of extended warranty.
