I can play the entire Mortal Kombat series with my measley Pentium 3 @ 866MHz and only 128MB fo RAM in WinXP. It's all a matter of how you tweak it. |

I'm thinking of this one http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduct.asp?description=17-154-013&DEPA=1 I'm going to be setup close to you with 512 of ram as well. If mk play well then does NBA Jam play fast as well? Thanks for the tips. |

NBA Jam plays at full speed as well. I use a version of MAME called fastmame and if necessary sometimes I reduce the audio sample rate to half. For an arcade game you really shouldn't notice any difference between full and half rate, anyways. It can work wonders for speed, though. On the very toughest of games I pull sample rate all the way down to 1/4 and that fixes almost anything. (Of course no KI, Cruisin, Wargods, or anything of THAT caliber...) |

Gromet - What's the benefit of the Arcade card? Can't you just go straight to a normal video card because the 9200 will have a 15pin VGA connection? What capabilities does the card give you over the various tweaks in MAME? :) |
