Pages: << < (2/3) > >>

deadsoulz:

I like the E8400, but any of the newer cores that have 6MB cache are good overclockers and fast.

mcdubbin:

any reason why Intel over AMD? just curious  ???

Paul Olson:

The Core2Duos are a lot faster for MAME. From what I have read, the AMDs are not even close.

Blanka:

E8400 all the way:
-45nm series so it means low heat
-cheap per power
-overclocks similar as the E8500 up to 4ghz.
-quads are not nessecary for mame.

fjl:

Is the overclocking necessary? For the upgrade he's doing, and not overclocking, he should already see a substantial speed difference.
