Decent PC for MAME?
runninblue:
So to sum up:
A 64 bit processor (preferably Intel and probably dual core)
Windows XP 64 bit
2 gig of RAM max
Graphics card optional (but on board graphics recommended)
A basic summation but is this the general consensus?
EDIT: remember I want it to run smooth as a baby's balls where possible!

Then you want a video card. Onboard video is slower than a video card.

onboard videocard is enough for mame
if you need for other emulators,then buy an extra pci-express card,but a cheap one
ragnar:
It might be just me, but isn't processor speed more important than dual core with emulation? I'd assume that a single 4 GHz CPU will outperform a dual core 3 GHz setup with regards to emulation.
Reasoning being, I don't think many games (until more recent) have been made for multiple processor systems.
Or are the emulators actually written as multithreaded programs?
oyama82:
new mame versions support dual core
so you need a good dual core!
