The staff over at GameSpot recently sat down with Windows Gaming General Manager, Dean Lester for this rather informative discourse re Microsoft's next-gen consoles, XNA, and what "Longhorn" (Microsoft's new O/S) will all mean for PC gaming...
According to Lester, the plan is to simplify the process of selecting a good PC for games without having to be an expert on hardware. He provided a hypothetical example that a PC with a "level 5" designation might have a medium processor speed, amount of RAM, and mid-range video card, while a "level 7" PC might have a faster processor, more RAM, and a higher-end video card. As you might expect, the "level 5" PC would also be less expensive than the "level 7." Either way, the "level" designations are not final, and may not even be used at all. However, Microsoft is considering using them to help newer users figure out what PCs they need to play the games they want. |
