Now we just need to find one of the sites that tell the settings for over-clocking this model.  This particular hp model has been OC'ed to 4ghz with extra cooling, 3.5-3.6 with stock parts.

Thanks for the heads up on this!  Just picked up a model with the same specs as you (3.0ghz core 2 duo 4gigs ram 160gig hd)... although I didn't realize until after I ordered that it was SFF so a video card upgrade is most likely out of the question.  I am primarily concerned with being able to run Hyperspin+MAME and I just need something powerful enough to run games like Shuffleshot without stuttering, and given that my current arcade PC was built in 1999 this will most certainly be a huge step up haha.  Either way the price alone beats the hell out of some of the other options I was considering!
RetroGreg:
What's better: Athlon II X2 or Core 2 Duo? Both 3.0 ghz, same hd, same ram, same price...?
Howard_Casto:
Well the mame devs say the intel stuff is better.  Amd traditionally speaking is the inferior, yet cheaper choice... so when they are the same price, so intel.
RetroGreg:
Cool. I ordered a core 2 duo. Thanks for the fast reply and for posting the deal!
