just about to build my Mame PC, but i realised i know nothing of AMD CPU's anymore, and now with all their new crazy names and number schemes i am lost. just dont want to end up buying the AMD ULTRA GIGA 5000XP + SUPER only to find its a 100 mhz cpu lol ;D i want to get something mid ranged, but towards the higher end of the mid range. so that i can play 3D emu's like epsxe and chanckast when it works better etc... so if i were to get an intel i'd get a P4 2.8ghz (unless thats not enough for 3d emulators?? yet another area i'm a little lost in) so i guess whatever is the rough equivilant....not sure wether to get sempron (guessing its their cheap-ass cpu) or XP+ or their Athlon 64 ??? so suggest away 8) |

What games do you want to play? There are some games that you'll have absolutely no chance of playing any time on any cpu made in the next 2-3 years. And there are others that will run fine on 1GHz or less. Give us your top 10 wishlist. |
