I *really* didn't mean it to come across that way.
If I wanted to brag, I would have bought an I7.
I figured that if a bunch of different builds were posted, it would enable people to find the performance to $ sweet spot.
I'm actually kinda worried that my stock clocked I5-750 would perform relatively poorly, as MAME does not seem to use extra cores very well. I was curious if a cheaper dual core processor would thrash it.

The 4GHz+ E8500s do a pretty amazing job from what I've read in past threads. A couple guys have run benchmarks on a variety of games so you could use that data to revive a database of benchmarks if you wanted to get started, then compare yours from there. I've been interested in seeing how the X6 performs, especially since the added cores don't seem to assist much.

the classics .... dk and pac ect ...
the high resource games ... street fighter 4 , blitz and others
new shooters , daphine games ...
mame pinball ...
jukebox ... touch screen jukebox ....
I would love to know .... that uses what .... roms use RAM ? How much ram do I really need ? Mame only uses X amount of ram ? My OS also has limits ? Others are CPU driven ? Dont I really want a single core processor ? Video Card ? Where does my Hard Drive coming into play ? Can I put all my roms or mp3s on a 5400 rpm HD ? And my OS and frontends on a SSD drive ?

Perhaps I was being a bit optimistic.
