    a plain old UPS will do very little, other then protect the game from a massive spike. They typically only engage when power drops below a level, which is most likely going to be lower then the voltage the game will reset at. More advanced ones will boost power and/or filter the line, but many still won't do it quick enough to avoid a reset.
