Hi all Have been thinking of building my own bartop WeeCade, and tonight I'm hopefully starting on the woodwork :applaud: But I havn't found out about which CPU/motherboard I should use. I would like to buy a new one, and my choice is now between these to, both with integrated motherboard and CPU. 1: ASRock P4FSB1333-650 + CPU A2+Celeron 420 2.66GHz 2: Intel D945GCLF2 microITX m. onboard Atom 330 Nr 2 costing about 18$ more, but beeing smaller and would fit more easilli into the small cab. I want machine to run MAME and Playstatin 1 and perhaps Playstation 2 also. What are you thoughts about these CPU and which one would you choose and why? Thanx in advance |

I would pay $20 more but get a better cpu option for #1...get an E5200. It will blow both those other CPUs away. |

i agree, if you're gonna go with a 775 board then get a 5200 they usually have a fair amount of room for OC'ing and it'll stop boht those other chips at stock speeds to start with. |

TY very much for you reply. Just checking prices in Denamrk where i live. Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200 FSB800 2.5GHz Box costs roughly 91$ but then i would have to buy a motherboard as well like this one: ASRock K10N78 - motherboard - ATX - GeForce 8200 around 67$ Totalling 158$. While solution nr 1 only costs 97$ A difference around 60$ If I would chose solution 3 (E5200), would that give me a significant better gaming experience with either MAME or ePSX? |
