| Which will be the faster machine? |

I'm currently running ver .113 on my P4 2.4ghz spare computer in my cab. With the new 64-bit optimizations of Mame, would it be faster to run it on a Amd64 3700+ (2.2ghz) running windows xp64? I'd be losing .2 ghz of processing power, but upgrading to the 64 bit build. Secondly, have there been any benefits yet to using dual-core processors? Wondering if any Core2Duo owners have found marked improvements over a single core setup. |

The Athlon64 3700+ is much faster than the Pentium 4 2.4GHz. Even without running it in 64 bit mode. There is a reason that they call it a 3700+ and not 2200. No matter what OS you use, the Athlon will be much faster. |
| joeH:
Would you think that some of the chd's such as Blitz99 and Gauntlet Legends may be playable with the new 64bit builds and the 3700+? |
| zelony:
No. I have a dual core Athlon64X2 4600 and it can't play those games. |
| joeH:
Appreciate the input. |
