MediaWiki has been designed to run on a webserver. The requirements which gaming PCs have to fullfil are not completely the same as the ones servers have to fullfil. While for gaming PCs graphics or CPU power might be important, for a server aspects like a really hugh RAM and really fast harddisc are important. You will not be able to get the performance of a middle-class server with your local PC. If you install MediaWiki there, you might also want to use special versions of Apache/PHP/MySQL and/or configure some settings there to improve performance. Using an opcode cache also helps. For details you can have a look at Manual:Performance tuning.
