BLITZ! PC build

Pages: (1/3) > >>

deano7:

I am building a new MAME box because my motherboard in my old box died.  Time to try and upgrade and add some games.  I'd like to build a new compy that can play Blitz and some of the CHD games.  I have an old AGP arcadevga that I'd like to transfer over to the new computer and I'd like to use win XP 32 because I have like 10 licenses for it laying around.  Any advice for the most inexpensive processor and mobo that will let me play Blitz?  Thanks in advance.

Dazz:

Last I heard Blitz was barely playable with a 4ghz processor.

Malenko:

Prolly easier and better to run either pc version or dreamcast/n64 emulated version of blitz

deano7:

Thanks for the replies. 

Well, if Blitz is off the table, then what is the sweetspot for cost/processor power for other Mame and CHD games?  Let's say I wanted to run Tekken and most other games at full speed?

Malenko:

tricky answer. You wanna get the fastest dual core mobo/cpu you can afford that still has an AGP slot. Heard 64 bit builds run a bit faster, I'd suggest TinyXP to squeeze that much more out of your hardware.
