124mb RAM CPU Cyrix II\IBM - MX 300 or summit WIERD i have neva heard of what eva thats suposted to be ! (i got that from BIOS) |
| Dexter:
Thats a VERY slow processor. You might want to look at fastmame 0.56 or older http://www.arcadeathome.com/ It will give you about a 5-6% speed boost Also have a look at fastvid, its a dos video speedup program, but I don't know if its cyrix compatible |

well the pc as it was used to run 98 relativly ok from memory but i have had it like 2 weeks and in my intier little life of just under 16years i have never heard of Cyrix.... what the hell is it ! how about i scrap that PC EVEN thou it has usb!! and get out my trusty TINY with 48mm RAM 8gb Windows ME, NO USB, good ISA soundcard..... with wait for it AT PSU !! its OLD older than this Cyrix thing at least that has usb and ATX PSU the only problem being if i get out the TINY and use taht for my arcade machine is i will have to get some sort of toggle switch for my control board on the front of the pc rather than a push in SPST switch :hissy: |

i ahve too of these TINY's there brother and sister TINY 1 is a Pentium 1 with MMX technology TINY 2 is a Athlon of somesort must be about the same power as the pentium if not a bit more powerful (Runs Me VERY well) got quite a few arcade games on it and they play like a DREAM the pentium was my first EVER pc and has not been touched since i had it and therefore want to look after it not damage it HENCE the athlon is teh arcade machine INFACT it was my arcade machine for a bit!! only problem being its a AT board with serial mouse port that only sometimes accepts the serial to PS/2 adaptor and a AT keyboard port !! although the ps/2 keyboard adaptor always works |
| Dexter:
You might get away with running the older games on the cyrix. I ran most classics at good speed on a PII-350 using fastmame and fastvid with 128mb ram and a 420MB HDD. |
