Hello all,

I'm searching around for a comp for my next arcade vertical cab.  This $99  deal seems good, but will it run MAME smoothly?

Definitely.  You might only hit a snag when playing 3d games in MAME. 

I would say that it will run 99% of vertical games 100% speed no problem.

MAME doesn't take much advantage of newer video cards, the performance in MAME would be negligible but any other games would have improved performance.  Thats a darn good deal for it just lacking a HD
