Singapore - Well, there is no magic to it just that now made possible by technology and big bandwidth that we are enjoying. The program is call StreamMyGame. One of our user, Dotrk has reported before on this program previously. This concept and technology has been around for IT guy to remote control their server machine from interlinked network via a slave machine, and finally the idea has been ported over for the convenience of gamers.

How is it possible to play a game that need a high end comp to run on a low end comp? Well the trick is that processing work is done by a comp that is able to run the game smoothly. Then using a low end comp to feed the screen image and controls of the high end comp, you will be able to see and control the high end comp from your low end comp. The low end comp will just need to process the control signal and the video feed signal while the main processing of the game is all on the bigger and powerful machine. As long you are on a high bandwidth connection which these two comp are connected to and can communicate with one another it will work seamlessly and smoothly.
Layman explanation of this technology is that the low end comp is kind like a slave comp. It will just display and duplicated the control of the high end comp. Master machine do the work, slave machine just display and remote controlling the master machine.
However, at the moment the screen resolution is limited to 1024x600 for free usage, there is a charge if user wants higher resolution for their other tier of services. Definitely a technology that is interesting and fun to try out.
