And just as important, we all need to look at what we require for the application. A basic MAME cabinet, that only runs 2D games isn't going to need a high-end 3D card, for example. Onyx |

I know it's not important, this is jsut a for fun thread to see what everyone uses. |

Intel Pentium or AMD, One thing a person must not do is waste money on the crappy Celeron. I use an AMD athlon 64 2.2GHz, with 512MB memory (plays playable games at 100%, for Mame and Zinc (the only emulators I play)). I have another computer that P4 2.8ghz with 512MB ram, since i have Mame on flash drive I played on it. It plays better than the AMD. I played on a Celeron computer and it was like I just eat a horse, went to the bathroom, and was trying to flush what came out down the toilet. Not gonna happen. |

Like Onyx I build my own PC's every 10-12 month's (sometimes sooner!!!) nothing against the off the shelf pc's but this way I can put exactly what I want in them. The one in my cab is not that powerful but run's perfect for the game/game's it was built for (80's era) whereas my desktop pc when I built it in january was powerful for the time (Core2 duo e6400) but now is pretty out of date and slow compared to newer system's. Next build is planned for january as my local PCworld does great sales on boxing day! ;) Regards. |

AMD something or rather. couldnt even remember what but heres the specs from my web page (knew i created it for a reason ;D) # AMD 2000XP Athlon processor # Gigabyte K7 Triton motherboard with onboard sound and graphics # 256 meg RAM- way more than enough with win98 installed. And it would be fine even with XP. # Altec Lansing AVS200 speakers. These look too small but actually sound fine for this application # 4 gigabyte hard drive |
