| Donkbaca:
I am pretty sure mine is compatible, but if its not I can get a 3.2ghz that is off ebay for 20 bucks or less. I am just wondering if its worth the trouble to upgrade to 64 bit mame? Is there anything that will be more playable? I don't care if there are percentage gains on things that don't run properly. |

Its an impossible question to answer as every system is different, and different versions of mame have different performance. How does anyone but you know what games almost run acceptably on your system? |
| Donkbaca:
True everyone is different, but I am sure that a lot of folks have switched from 32 bit mame to 64 bit mame and I just want to know if it makes a real difference, are there games that were not playable before that are playable now? I am just asking what people's experiences are and if they would recommend going to 64 bit, before I go through the hassle of migrating from 32 to 64 |
| releasedtruth:
I don't believe you're going to gain much with a P4 going to 64. At least not enough to make many games more playable. Especially if you're making the switch for the gains. |
| Donkbaca:
Exactly what I wanted hear! Now all I need to do is figure out how to power up/power down. Like I mentioned earlier, I am planning on trying a WOL to power up, but not sure how to remotely power down. Suggestions? |
