I'm building a dedicated vertical cabinet... 99% MAME but I'm also running Fix it Felix and the PC release of Ikaruga.
I have a 15K only arcade monitor that I'll be using through a J-PAC.
my PC is a Core 2 Duo with 2GB of ram running Win XP.
Currently I've got an nVidia 7200GS and everything runs well, but I've been hearing a lot of Good things about CRT Emu Driver and Groovy MAME and resolution/frame rate accuracy is very important to me.
the one road-block I have is that I need to use a low-profile (half-height) video card in order for everything to fit....
I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations as to the best card to use that is both compatible with CRT Emu Driver and half-height in size. It'd be nice if there was a VGA port as well, so I wouldn't have to use a DVI-VGA adapter (again, because of space) , but this would be a minor thing if everything else is good.
It seems I can get a 4650 in either 512MB or 1GB in a low-profile format but I don't know if this is compatible or if there is a better card out there I could be looking for.
Any advice would be appreciated.
