I have a P4 2.8 and it's just not enough to play the games I really wanbt to play. What cpu do I need so I can run games like blitz etc? |
| protokatie:
You wont be able to play most of the newer 3d games on existing hardware. I have read a few threads here where people had really really souped up machine and could just barely play blitz. You could try FastMAME, you may get more mileage with that. |

So I will be wasting my money and time getting a super fast cpu etc? |

What protokatie was getting at is the fact that many games won't play on even the best machines. If you list a few specifics, some of us might be able to help you out. This actually reminds me of an idea I had; if it doesn't already exist (if it does, where is it?), there should be a wiki page or some other outlet where we can submit and compile our results for things like this. It would be nice to try and get a fairly complete listing of what kind of system a particular game runs well on. It would be a pretty big undertaking, since that varies a lot by MAME version, and PC hardware varies greatly. I thought it would be an interesting thing to look into, though. Perhaps just a thread where people can post their system specs with a list of games that don't run well for them would be a good start...? |

Just build the fastest computer your budget will allow, and go from there. |
