| What will happen to MAME when... |

Yeah, what you all said is pretty much true. Like I said, if programmed for 64bit there will be some performance, like memory access. But onyl a small percentage of the code will benefit from it. 64bit is really needed as memory and storage gets larger and larger. 64bit isn't new, just in the x86 world it is. |

what mame REALLY could use that would speed it up would be all the extra registers. ESPECIALLY if the cores where rewritten to utilize them (keep all original cpu registers in their own register... So no need to push/poping the registers). But don't expect this to happen soon. I personally LOVE AMD... but I wouldn't buy one of the 64bit processors for a year or so. |
