| A question about using a PC for my MAME cabinet |
| << < (2/17) > >> |

Well I don't think you want less than 4GB, either. I think that's your sweet spot. And make sure that the processor has high MHz. |

No worries, that's what I meant by "no more than 4GB". How much MHZ is recommended for my type of MAME cabinet? |
| AlanS17:
Oh gosh... I really think we need to draw more opinions into this thread to answer that question. MAME has grown since I last installed it so it can handle much newer, more complicated games now. :-/ When in doubt, though, just try to maximize it. A good example would be a high end Intel Core i5. Unless someone disagrees, the Core i7 series may be overkill and the Pentium series may not be beefy enough. |
| ArcadeSeeker962:
Okay, thank you for the advice. I'll take a look at the Intel Core i5. I'm also going to check and see what Dell has available, since our family are into Dell PC's(except for my sister, she prefers Mac's). |
| AlanS17:
You may even want to check out the Intel Core i3's. It depends heavily on what games you intend to play. And like I said, I don't have a very good CURRENT gauge for max requirements so a second opinion would be recommended. |
