What should be the first task to do on my new computer?
SirPoonga:
Well, since my computer died (PIII 500) I started getting a new computer.
Abit KV-80 motherboard
Athlon 64 3200+
512megs of memory
40gig & 200gig hd
DVD+/-RW DL
Diamond Stealth ATI 9550
I'm debating what the first thing I should try out on it should be. I'd like to see how fast mame compiles. I'd like to try out the video card, it came with Deus Ex something or other. otherwise I have old school games like Quake 1-3, Decent 3, Black and White, UT2k.
Unfortunately I am on modem so I can't try multiplayer games :( And I don't know if I have all the files needed to compile mame.
If I play mame what game should I try? I have .82 roms, so no new chds to try out. No way I am going to try and dowload that on modem!
Or do I do work and get my controls.dat development up and going again (blah, I'd rather play as a first task :) )
Everyone keeps complaining everything isn't as fun anymore so I am making a fun post :)

Jabba:
My vote is for the compile.
I love seeing how much fater my compiles go on a new smokin' machine...

Actually, the first thing I do is verify the internet connection works by going to Danni.com, then I come here, then I would play MAME tm.
