Ya, I think Snaaake is right also, my Cabinet is a small sit-down model ( http://www.uodom.com/mame/mame.html ) , so I really dont have too much room, so i'm going with this route below: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2056304972&rd=1 and http://www.vr-zone.com/reviews/Shuttle/SS40G/ Can somebody please tell me what's a really good fan for my XP2000 chip that I will be getting? Thanks, Lasareath --- Quote from: Nx87 on September 23, 2002, 05:43:27 pm --- I agree with Snaaake. Pre-built computers usually suck. And theres alot more satisfaction in building your own. --- End quote --- |

That's the other question I had, What about the MP chip from AMD?, Does anybody have one?, is it worth me spending the extra cash for the MP2000 rather than the XP2000 chip, TIA, Lasareath |

I notice a lot of people like to overclock their cabinet processors... I'd like to note that air flow in most acrade cabinets is awful! I would suggest that you try the games you want to play in normal clock mode and overclocked, and only overclock because you absolutely have to... I have a Slot A 800 MHz Athlon Thunderbird in mine, and I can play all the games I care about... but I am mostly into "classic" gaming, like Pac-Man and Asteroids, and using an older version of MAME that supports the faster tweaked modes, those will run on some pretty tiny boxes! The 800 is necessary for some sports games. I still can't run S.T.U.N Runner at a decent frame rate even at the lowest resolution. Of course, my main system only has a 1.2 GHz Athlon in it, and my wife is running a 600 MHz Athlon and my daughter is running a 400 MHz K6-II. I'll upgrade the "real" computers before I upgrade the game cabinet... I'll probably be putting together a cocktail cabinet soon for classig games that use 4-way joysticks; that machine will be getting a K6-II 400, which should be more than enough. Oh, and it should be noted that my cabinet is running DOS, so I don't have to give up any CPU to Windows. --Chris |
