Decent PC for MAME?

<< < (4/16) > >>

runninblue:
Thanks again for the tips. I was gonna go with 4 gig + of ram anyway to future proof my cab a little bit so I think I will go with Windows Xp 64 bit.

I'm now contemplating buying the pc parts and putting it together myself but I'm a bit reluctant as I haven't played around inside a pc since high school (12 years ago).

Apparently mame runs upto 30% faster on xp64, I'm going to give it a try!

there is no need for 4gb even for the future,believe me with 2gb your cabinet will be smooth with xp64 or windows7
64bit version windows with 64bit version mame can go up to 25-30% than 32bit versions

XNIF:
somewhere in this forum someone benchmarked the complete set. And you can almost play any mame game on a ION system with a 9400m integrated graphics card and an Atom 330.
