this hasn't made a performance difference for at least 15 years.... sound is still always rendered at the same resolution, so unless you have a truly awful onboard sound that can't cope with a 48khz stream (and those have been extinct for probably 10 years) all you're doing is making it sound like bottom.

Yea I haven't really tried it at 48Khz, I'll change it back and see if there is really a difference.

Ark_Ader,

While trolling is fun, please refrain from trying to start a flame war. In case you haven't read the rules lately, check out rule #1 http://arcadecontrols.com/arcade_message_rules.html

You did miss a point of sustainability that I was trying to avoid with the e8400 and the e6400, those sockets are getting harder to support and find "good" motherboard for. There are a few that do support cheaper DDR3 but most are DDR2 which has been phased out as well, so it costs out the wazoo (just like the 775 motherboards). Since 775 was release, there has been 1156, 1155, and now 1150 sockets for lower end systems.

Cpu-world.com is NOT biased an any way. They take benchmarks then you choose which processors to compare them to based on the same benchmarks.
I.E. an E6400 vs G3220 http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/383/Intel_Core_2_Duo_E6400_vs_Intel_Pentium_Dual-Core_G3220.html

Based on BENCHMARKS the G3220 is 2x's faster than the E6400 in Single and Multi-Thread operations. Even current AMD low-end FM2's that run at 4Ghz (6790K) run slower in single thread operations.

I would love to see the specs of the setup you used with the G3220 you tried out and what applications you had problems with. I am sure if you thought that a G3220 would satisfy a power user, then yes, I would agree they would be greatly dissatisfied with that choice. MAME however is different than most modern-day programs that multi-thread effectively. Using this processor for a single purpose will yield different results, and since we are only concerned about static horsepower being delivered to a single program, MAME functions rather well, and at a cheap price.

I'll post back this weekend and compare my results based upon these http://www.mameui.info/Bench/Bench.htm and if I eat crow, so be it.  :P

We opted for the G3240 instead (and they were the same price) which is why I think they are crap.  Go on, amuse us with your comparison, if you want to use a crap processor then you are completely in your right to do so.  If you are such an expert, why are you referring to a biased review?  :laugh2:

Not that these things are bible or anything, but they do provide a fairly useful insight:

http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Pentium-G3220-vs-Intel-Core2-Duo-E6400

A lot of this stuff can depend on the rest of your setup, but seems as thought under certain control conditions, the G3220 is better.

Funnily enough it's the CPU I've been looking at myself if I feel flash enough to actually buy new hardware for my build.

Out of interest, how does it handle Hyperspin (that is, if you're even running it!).

I'm running Maximus Arcade for the frontend actually. I ran it on my old AMD X2 AM2 system for a little bit and it seemed to handle it well. I doubt you would have any problems but I'll load it and check it out for you this weekend if you would like me to.
