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.
ArcadeSeeker962:
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.
