which one should I use? (a few pc questions)
« on: March 17, 2006, 09:58:00 pm »
first post so please dont kill me

I did a search and alot off members love amd so here are the two systems that I have

msi k7t- turbo
XP 900 (its a xp1600 but it doesnt like 133fsb so I switched it to 100fsb and it runs fine :(  )

or

MSI (cant recall the MB)
P3 933 (133 fsb)

here's the parts that will be thrown into the system
768 ram (pc133)
geforce 2gts or geforce 4 MX420
sblive

is this enough to run lets say mortal combat 3 @ full speed?
or is it just a basic old school arcade machine?

Thanks

Nope. 

Look at the FAQ link again, there are a few posts about computer specs.  You'll play a LOT of games with that system if you use an older version of MAME, but some games just won't play.  MK3 is probably one of them.
first off your and idiot

Man I love the internet, haha.
