Stock Comp for MAME
BillinIndiana:
I assume most of you piece together(build) your own systems for your MAME projects.. I'm not sure I'm that educated? Can a regular stock tower handle MAME ? Here's just a quick Best Buy link http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+Desktop+-+4GB+Memory+-+500GB+Hard+Drive/6835558.p?id=1218809266786&skuId=6835558
Will something like this work?
BillinIndiana:
Anyone?

generally the idea is to get a processor with a bit more power to it. Mame is more processor intensive than anything. Intel processors tend to show better performance than AMD processors on mame too.
I generally recomend people simply buy parts for a build as opposed to buying a whole new pc out of the box for mame. You can even look around for second hand parts. I just made a penitum D dual core system out of parts that people threw into the pc parts trash heap. I'm able to play most mainstream games up to tekken 3.

Yea, I'm not sure I would know what to do? Be nice if you just plugged it all together..

If all you are looking for is a dedicated pc for mame, i understand. Unfortunately the clock speed on that unit at best buy that you linked to isn't that strong.
