What brand of PC is in your cabinet?

Back in the day....

You used to be able to build a PC that killed anything off the shelf when you pieced it together on your own.

However in today's world, unless you need a sup'd up mega powerful, gaming PC, you can get just as good if not better of a deal by buying something premade (Dell or otherwise) than going through the hassle of doing it yourself.

But since Mame only needs specific things to work I don't think it'd make a huge difference either way.

AMEN to that Brother..  I used to save my family and friends $$$$$ by building PC's for them.

Not worth it these days

I bought a gateway tower off of ubid.com for my cab.  You can find some pretty good deals there.  To lazy to get the specs now but it plays everthing I throw at it and I didn't have to waste money buying unnecessary components like the keyboard, mouse, and monitor.

So I am running mame 106 and need to update this winter to the newest AND I want to build a new computer.  Will I get better performance with a dual core?  Which is the better video card for Mame now (Nvidia or ATI)?

Thanks...

Mame does not work off of your video card and dual core is an overkill unless you're running a heavy cpu emulator like the PS2 emu or gamecube emu.
