And remember, Celeron Processors are weak for MAME.
Recommended MAME processors are:P4/AthlonXP/Athlon64/Opteron.

why do you say that.
I allways here "Celeron Processors are weak" I have yet to have a problem with them
honestly. video edit, DVD copy, emu's
the works. never a problem because of CPU.
every problem I have, ends up because of ME or Micro$oft
not Celeron Processors.
mind you , I am not a PC expert ... just a above average user
in short. every one at work comes to me for help...
I have no one but here to come for help

Now if you are going to tell me a Pent. chip is a few nano seconds faster.
who cares.

I want to know a real hard reason why a Pentium Chip is worth the $$$
over a Celeron Processors,

I shelled out the fund with a 600 meg Pent chip
ran my programs with a 500 meg chip a few years ago
nothing differant I could tell

I tried a few AMD chips....
I like Intel better ( just me, though... If some one gave me a AMD chip , I would not snub my nose to it.)

as far as the question above. Yes you have one of the most powerfull systems out. go for the newest Mame

I have Celeron - it's totally crap for MAME. It's weak. Games speed are catastrophe.

Yes, my Celeron is 1GHz. But I don't talk about my Celeron ;) I talk about all Celerons.

What about compare P4 3Ghz and Celeron 3GHz ? :D
I'm interesting about speed for example in:
1. Brave Blade
2. Xevious3D

I have Athlon XP 2,4GHz too, 2 weeks ago I tested Athlon 64 3200+ and what I can say: these CPUs are to weak for BB and X3D.
I prepare for change CPU for MAME, and I can say 3 words only: "Intel Pentium only". ;)

Post by: jjd on March 31, 2006, 09:02:07 am: The guy asked about HIS machine, which happens to be a 3+ GHZ celeron. It will be fine for use in the current MAME version regardless of your preference in processor.

I would say none. ;D

Seriously, just get the version that matches your ROMs, and only update if you update your ROMs.
