Title: Looking for new computer for cabinet. Xeon?
Post by: raungst on January 08, 2010, 03:26:17 pm

I'm looking to upgrade to a more modern machine now that I finally got a cabinet. I'd like to get something decent for around $150 or so. I'd be using ArcadeVGA for the video card.

I've seen some good deals on dual 3.0 GHz Xeons. I know its a server processor, but would it work well with MAME, or is it wiser to just get a core2duo? Does anyone know of any good computer deals around?

I'd be able to get a core2duo at 1.86GHz at roughly the same price. Which should I get?
