Great info. Think I might wait a bit. Thanks Taz. :cheers: |

I there Taz, looking for some help in upgrading my MAME cabinet. I'll upgrade to a C2D or CQuad, but I've an AGP ArcadeVGA, which is a downall as i have to stick to AGP motherboards. The one that best suites my needs is this one http://www.asrock.com/mb/cpu.asp?Model=4CoreDual-SATA2%20R2.0 From the list, which Processor would you recommend, apart form the xtrm ones ($$$ ;D$$$). The other downfall is a maximum 667 MHz DDR2 :banghead: :banghead:. How far can i go OC wise? :cheers: |

I'm a ways off from purchasing the computer for my cab (a month or so), but I was wondering how Soulcalibur was running with your setup. |

The Asrock board is going to limit your options no end, Asrock is the last brand I'd recommend anyone use, and the via chipset just isn't going to overclock well. Cut your losses and do it right the first time, it will save you money in the long run. --- Quote from: Vash on April 15, 2008, 01:52:27 am ---I'm a ways off from purchasing the computer for my cab (a month or so), but I was wondering how Soulcalibur was running with your setup. --- End quote --- Soulcalibur is not a working rom at this time, major graphics issues. but it runs at 180% in 32bit mame currently dipping to 165% when the characters are visable, should be plenty playable once emulation is complete with an overclocked core 2 duo. |

In addition, you get no benefit from having a QuadCore CPU in MAME. By the time any benefit would even conceivably be possible, the speed of your CPU would be quite obsolete anyway. I would suggest saving the money and getting a good overclockable DualCore CPU. Besides, overclocking a DualCore CPU should be easier than a Quad. (Fewer cores to have to rely on overclocking well). |
