| AMD AM3 an ok choice? |

First and last link are both showing the mobo. I usually only spend around $40 for a budget mobo to go with this processor. (get almost all my stuff from newegg.com) Amount of memory depends on the OS you are using. XP won't recognize more than 4GB including what's in your graphics card (if you have one). 8GB is fine for Win7. I've read that the AMD GPU's suck for MAME, but I don't have any personal experience with them. |

(Insted of AM3 socket) That one will require a 125w mobo and bigger power supply, but would probably perform a little better than the X3. Looks like a good combo to me! |

Next thing would be the GPU... Will a 9800 be sufficent.. maybe geforce 430? |
