Reasons For Mahjong's Popularity
In the decades before the Internet appeared, this game was the pastime of the smart and sophisticated, and in fact, was a game played before the invention of the car. Unlike any other game, Mahjong was popular in its home country and later spread across the globe and has withstood the vicissitudes of fortune much better than any other game.
According to Chinese myths, Mahjong was invented by Confucius in about 500 B.C. But with the invention of the Internet which led to online video games, Mahjong didn't lose its popularity but adapted itself to this new medium-in fact its popularity grew in these times.
There are several reasons for the popularity of this game, such as:

There are several reasons for the popularity of this game, such as:
- Over 2,000 years ago, this Chinese game was invented by a beauty in her chambers just to pass away the time. She played with her maids with pieces of bamboo and ivory for tiles. However, this game grew popular when the Americans took it to America and other English speaking countries. The game out of China was modified wherever it was played and made more contemporary.
- In America, the popularity of this game overtook all others and it soon dominated the games scene, until the Depression when Mahjong lost its popularity because people had different opinions about the value system and confusion that was felt all over the world. With the Internet, people got the unique chance to play online Mahjong in the comfort of their homes because now this game could easily be played online. Online Mahjong became very popular with more people of all age groups reached to play this game like never before.
- Die-hard free Mahjong players often infuse gambling into this game, so it's not surprising that more people play it now more than ever. This is also the reason for top casinos offer it along with other casino games such as poker. It is also quite like poker, though here it is played with tiles, yet here the suits must be completed and again like poker, it needs strategy and skill to win.
- The same game that Mahjong sets' importers dealt in were subsequently thrown out of business suddenly bounced back into the same business because now this game was called the game of 100 intelligences. Now, online players vie for points after playing free Mahjong total concentration.
Gaming Desktop - Enough Power to Run Anything
When you're thinking about gaming desktop, you're not just thinking about awesome gaming rigs capable of displaying the most realistic visuals out there, but a machine built with every specification to suit demanding applications. Gaming PCs are configured to run the best modern games today, but they can also be used to work in high-end applications which demand a lot of hardware power to run properly. You can use a gaming desktop for a whole array of tasks, ranging from video / audio editing, graphic design, 3D design or any other application which demands a lot from your system's hardware. With this in mind, think about all the benefits you can get from owning such a machine: not only can you game hard, with stunning visuals; you can also work a lot better since it will cut up loading times and improve your work-flow quite a bit.
Usually, such a desktop will incorporate a high-end CPU, with more than one built-in core. These are great for gaming, and are also great for multitasking when your job requires it. Since most applications rely heavily on the amount of information that can be processed, having a powerful processor by your side will improve the way you work by cutting the necessary time needed to get the job done by a decent percent.
You'll be able to run most applications with a quad-core without having to suffer from system halts or choppy operation.
Some of the new line of processors that recently hit the market has come out with the Hyper Threading technology built into them, which allows each separate core to take on two sets of instructions at once. What does this mean for you, the user? Well, in layman's terms, if your system is equipped with a quad-core with Hyper Threading technology, it will act just like an octo-core (just like having eight separate cores on your system).
The same line of new processors also incorporates the Turbo Boost technology which balances the processing power with the power consumption for a more "green" machine. When you need to run games or demanding apps, all cores will fire up to keep up with the application; but when the system is idle, the processor will step down to about 1600MHz to save power and deflate your monthly energy bill.
So having the central processing unit covered, it's time to move on to system memory. True gaming desktop will have plenty of RAM, since it's needed in large amounts for games to run smoothly. The lowest amount of RAM a gaming PC should be having nowadays is somewhere in the range of 4GB. Having this minimum amount will insure the application will run great without glitches or crashes. This is also great if you intend to use your gaming computer for something else rather than gaming.
Graphic designers, for instance will benefit from the added RAM to their systems, since they use applications which do demand a lot from a system, from processor to system memory. It's isn't unusual for them to run at least 2-4 applications at once, so the multitasking capabilities will come in handy.
