A bit of elementary sleuthing around your favorite game player’s computer is going to prepare you for a quick trip to the local mall. You will find a little textbox on every game package that lists the exact computer needs for using that game.

• Is the computer a Mac or PC? Is the Desktop utilizing Windows XP or Windows Vista or Windows 7?
