Cheap CORE2DUO?
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.
