see but that's the thing.. .you CAN'T play ever game.  I don't care what system you have.. you just can't. The debate is really about those who DEMAND to be able to play as many games as possible even if a $2000 computer can only play a dozen or so more games than a $300 computer.  I'm not directing that directly at you... I know you were generalizing like you said.. but the point still stands

Oh I know that, no worries.  I have no expectations of playing Blitz in the near future, and don't really care about it, frankly.

I guess my point is that different people want to get different things out of a MAME box, and no one is 'right'.  I just struck the best balance between my budget and the games I want to play.

CPickler:

How much power does it take to play Blitz?

Nocturnaloner:

No one really knows.  I've seen estimates range from a 7 to 10ghz processor.

pointdablame:

I don't know much about Blitz, but I know people have estimated similar speeds for the Cruisin' games.... it'll be a while.

CPickler:

how do they run them in the arcades then?

whoa.... do they have to run like quad Xeon boards or something?
