P4 2.66mhz 2GB memory 300GB HDD (I still need to get a decent AGP video card) What do you think? |
| Ginsu Victim:
All classics, most 90s 2D games, a handful of polygon-based games, and a few CHDs. The stuff it won't run can be handled by other emus. |

A P4 is too weak, it will struggle even with things like Killer Instinct 2 and you're likely to be borderline on things like the 3-screen Buggy Boy and underpowered for some of the heavier 2D titles like the Sengeki Striker since the recent improvements. Clock-for-clock a P4 is significantly worse than the Core2 chips, with the i5/i7 stuff offering a slight improvement over those. |

i've had p4 2.8's running KI and KI2 with no problem. The key is to use Tiny/Micro XP and to have a decent AGP video card. joe |

Really, to get what the OP wants, pick up a Duo Core, install 64bit Vista or Windows 7 and run Mame64... |
