| Pentium D vs Anthlon 4400 for MAME |

Here is from R. Belmont on MAME.net. --- Quote ---> Is there any way a Pentium D 3.0 is going to be faster then and Anthlon 64 X2 > 4400 with dual core 2.3?? --- End quote --- "Sure. MAME is single-threaded, and the AMD X2s are fairly slow in that mode. The correct upgrade from a Pentium D is a Core 2 Duo or Quad. Nothing else will be faster." Maybe perhaps what I thought afterall?? The evidence sure supports it. |

You were calling a better CPU crap. See I take issue with that because the CPU has nothing to do with your problem. And once again on the ram subject the CPU has NOTHING to do with it. What OS are you using? Is it Vista? Are you really comparing XP performance vs. Vista performance in MAME and blaming the CPU? X2 CPUs are not slower runnign single threaded applicatons. If they were then so would the dual core Intel chips. |

Do you have trouble with anything else besides mame. If you can barely move your mouse around when playing freecell, it is your computer. Also, mame32 is mame. It just has its own graphical frontend. If the rest of your computer works fine, you messed up with mame32. You might try running MK with commandline version mame. If that works, start setting up a frontend. Mala is extremely easy to setup. No commandline, just graphical options settings. |

I haven't seen ANY benchmarks with the X2's with MAME. I don't care about other applications, it is single core that matters with me. So do you have personal experience with the X2 and single core applications? I notice a few people on here have reported similar issues with slowdown as well as other places online. MAME seems to be its ahilles heel. I have an intel 2 core duo (1.8 gig on my laptop SONY Vaio) and it even runs MAME faster! |

oh c'mon. I know its the CPU(or perhaps settings). Free cell... yeah thats it. ::) With other applications that are MULTI THREADED, the computer runs fine. But I am not exactly using labor intensive games either. I am sure DOOM3 plays like a charm, but the real issue is this. X2 is it proven well with MAME or not? Where is evidence instead of theories. Even the Toms hardware chart that I posted shows some proof of this. |
