I've been considering upgrading my PIII 450 with an AMD XP 2500. Will an AMD 2500 play Mortal Kombat well? Is there anything that lets you play MK with no problems? When you are upgrading just a MB & Chip could I reuse my Dell Pentium case? Or should I buy a new case? Or should I just mount everything to a piece of wood :) Thanks for posting all the info so far, its really helpful |

If not, you will need a new PS and I would just mount the board to the wood on the side of the cab (better cooling), unless you need to worry about cats/animals getting into the cab and messing things up. |

I have a Pentium 3, 733 mhz and MK1 runs cool! But Puzzle Bobble 2 doesn't... >:( The ideal would be a AMD 2500 ;D |

I also have 512mb. Everything works great, except of course those games that require a 4Ghz Cpu! :) oh I got my stuff from newegg.com. |
