havic626:
I have a very very old pc lying around............its a 333mhz amd cpu with 64 megs of ram...... i would like to use it for strictly emulation but don't know what will run or if older emu's will run on it..............any ideas or help would be much appreciated.
rovingmind:
youd be surprised at how many of the older 4-way stick games will run, also atari emulators

keeps doors open.. helps you reach the top shelf.. throw it at burglars..

i have an old p2 300 mhz slot 1 computer tht ran windows 98 quit happily. it was set up in our livingroom for email and web browsing. it did the job easily and was even speedy.

its retired now so i cant check but a nes emulator should run on it and maybe even a snes emulator. i know they both run smooth at 600 mhz you could try 300.

Dont know about what you can run as far as MAME, but I had (and still have) an Amiga 1200 28 MHZ with 10 megs of ram that would run SNES games just fine, also Atari emulation (Stella) and NES. So,a 333Mhz System should be able to run plenty of stuff (Maybe not NEOGEO or 3DO, but anything before it). Hell, I ran Project 64 on my mother's old 400 Mhz machine back in the day (With textures turned off) just to give you and idea of how far you could go.
