Simply put, if you want to play more modern 3D games, use ZiNc, or go out and buy a Playstation/Xbox/whatever console. MAME is about retro gaming. For most of us, that means games that are 15+ years old that aren't around any more. Not 3-4 years old, that can still be bought on store shelves. |

A Celeron 2.0Ghz runs Simpsons Bowling like crap, almost unplayable. A true 2.4Ghz P4 runs Simpsons Bowling just fine in a system running windows XP Pro SP2 and 128 Megs of Ram, I know this for a fact. Almost none of the chd games run anywhere near playable anyway on ANY system. I am not an expert, but I can confirm my above statement to be fact. Rodney |

Ok guys, Thanks for all of the input. I guess I'll need at least 2ghz to run the latest games and I shouldn't expect to run the CHD games very well or at all even with 3ghz or higher.. at least for now.. I'm looking forward to seeing how well M3talHead's 3ghz Athlon 64 system works for him I think I'll hold off a bit longer on my purchase until he lets us know what he's able to run with it |
