| Is the intel atom fast enough to play Mortal Kombat 3 or Killer Instinct 2 yet? |

I am planning on building a bartop cabinet and would like to throw in a nice cheap little Intel Atom processor in it. Last I checked (about 1-2 years ago), the intel atom (or any of the other low-power AMD variants) were not powerful enough to run these games. Does anyone know if the new line of atoms are fast enough to play Mortal Kombat 3 and Killer Instinct 1/2 in MAME? |

I can't speak for the new atom processors, but my 1.6 atom with 2GB of memory running TinyXP and only being used for MAME couldn't run full 100% for MK3. I think you might be better off spending your money on a used desktop PC and trying to cram it in there. The atoms are nice, but you can usually fit desktop components in a bartop. |

What type of atom processor are you running? Is it a N4xx or N5xx series? |

I think the AMD equivalent processors are a little bit better than atom's for the same price. As for mame handling them, not sure, but you could probably emulate them using different emulators for console imports. |
