newb build. Struggling to get twin off the ground
deathrow:
Thanks, much appreciated.
do you think the 2gb ram with say a 160 gb hdd would be the way forward? the seller does have some of these.
The rest of the system seems ok?
Howard_Casto:
Bigger is always better, but when you are on a budget get what you can afford.
You just need to be mindful that things take more room than you think they do.
Example:
A 20mb rom actually might equate to that 20mb plus:
2 mb of artwork
50-100 mb video file for hyperspin
ect.... ect...
It adds up.
Now a racer isn't going to have a lot on it, but a racing rig has the benefit of pc games as well, and as I said, they aren't exactly tiny.

I despise Pentium 4's, was stuck with a very slow one at work for a long time. :lol
I don't know if they'd run the Model 2 games or not.
Anyone running M2 on a P4 and can comment?
Might not be a bad idea for us to start putting together a list of processors, the most demanding game they will play, and the least demanding game it will choke on. There are a lot of other factors, but it would give people an idea of what they'll need.
Fursphere:
If you're going to mess with Hyperspin, you're going to want a Platinum membership AND an Emumovies subscription, so you can complete your setup.
And in today's world - I wouldn't buy anything smaller than a 1TB HDD. For a my driving cabinet, I just bought a 4TB drive. I got tired of shuffling everything around, so I just went huge.

I used to run M2 on my old cabinet, and it was slower than that. Mind you, with processors you never know, sometimes the type is more important than the raw speed. Also I think M2 was on version .5 or .6 when I used to run it.... I think he updated the render engine since then so there's no telling.
