| What game in MAME surprised you after a PC upgrade? |

Funny enough. That Athlon 64 X2 I built in 2008 as well as a new gaming machine for an event called ShowdownLAN which was in Peoria, IL. I was using that same Athlon 64 X2 up until exactly 1 week ago when I upgraded the CPU. Thus continues the trickle down. I could have gone X6 in my primary, but for the price I went X4 with a 1.2 GHz increase in clock. Anything else and I would get more bang for the buck starting 100% new. Next machine will be Intel unless AMD can catch up and surpass for less money like they did for a number of years. Anyway, I might just have to fire up Stun Runner on my upgraded non-MAME machine and see if I can play it. |

My AMD64 is from 04. It has trouble running hyperspin at mid level. I figured it was time. |

Yes, it's always a sad day when our "old faithfull"'s can no longer hang with the young guns. Especially when you go back and look up the old Athlon and the description is like "very first chip to feature dual...etc"...very nostalgic, but the time always comes, and in all fairness the i5-1470 with the GTX 550ti (since the onboard gpu of the 1470 is lower than garbage) is quite a beast, and will get me to around 2016 before the ill look back on 2012 and remember calling it a "beast" lol have fun. |

Got my new mobo and processor in, had to go buy a sata dvd rom drive at wally world. :lol Since I run Macs as my daily users, I totally forgot I don't have any sata dvd roms. Have my old 600W power supply, but it doesn't have a 8 pin atx, I don't think the 4 pin is cutting it (manual says a 4 pin is fine) or I got a screwed up board. Lost the LAN on it about an hour after installing windows, it's dead for all that I can tell. Windows 7 64 is annoying with the ArcadeVGA, resolutions don't work right. Went back to Win 7 32 and used the XP drivers and it works fine again. This has just been annoying, got to ship the mobo back to Amazon, but not before I played a little Blitz, it works awesome at full speed with no hiccups... |
