Buy a computer for the second cabinet.

My goodness, you can get a used computer that can run ALL the vertical Mame roms for cheaper than the cost of the assorted keyboard video and mouse switches/cables. 600 mhz is the magic number for vertical games.

I disagree with the 600 mhz....I'm running a 750 mhz and a few of my games run  choppy, but on my Duron 1000 mhz they run fine.

Sounds to me like you already have two computers :)

I think Paige is talking about only old school vertical games (I run them all fine on a 233).  Get a slower one to run the classics (mosty vertical) and use your faster computer to run the newer games (mostly horizontal)

the one computer split among 2 cabs is just not worth the trouble when a cheap computer can net you 2 fully working mame cabs.  I would just bug me to have a whole game sitting there unable to be used because someone is playing pacman.  Kinda like that little space on the dash of a new car that just keeps telling you "you were to cheap to get the option that goes here"  (man I gotta get back to therapy)

good luck whatever direction you decide
