I starting a new project, and deciding on the PC components to go in my cab would a, Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 LGA775 'Wolfdale' 2.53GHz CPU be overkill for MAME? |

Depends on what games you are hoping to run. |

The newer 3d games, Gauntlet legends, Tekken series etc |

Then no it wont be overkill. You probably wont get Gauntlet Legends running at full speed either. Im currently using a Core 2 Duo at 3.2ghz, and my gauntlet legends clocks in at around 90% speed during gameplay. More Information: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=72776.0 If you want to maximize your performance as well, you need to think about using a 64 bit OS and compiling your own 64 bit mame binary. In my personal tests, I didnt see a difference between Vista and XP (64bit versions of both) performance wise. I didnt get around to testing Linux before I went ahead with XP64. |
