Decent PC for MAME?

True, and by using onboard video, you are taking CPU cycles. Thank you for making my point for me.
;D

I think you people dont know enough about pc hardware and which is the correct for one job or other
believe it if you want or not,a recent onboard card by intel,nvidia or ati is very enough for mame emulator
as for xp64 it will not be a problem for mame only usage,drivers for sound,motherboard and vga are always available
,if you want to add more things then ok,go to windows 7

I beg your pardon, sir.
I'll have you know that I have been a computer technician for over 20+ years now, and currently hold the position of "National Technical Consultant" for Canada's largest shipping company. Before you go throwing out insults, I'd like to ask you to go read a book on current computer hardware. You might just find your 'opinion' is not correct.

its not who you are its what you can prove
prove it first that onboard video cards are not enough for mame
we are talking for mame only ok?

This is why I responded to your comment as I did. You are trying to tell people that it doesn't matter if they have a video card or not if they have onboard video, and you even went so far as to say this:

Oh, I guarantee there might be certain motherboards onboard video cards available today that can run most of the MAME games without issue, but it's not a simple blanket statement that you need to be aware of here. Sure, if you're running MAME 0.139 without a front end and no other resources, then I'm sure there are a lot of mobos that will support this with little issue.
What if someone is running a game with full LEDWiz support as well? Does this program not take CPU cycles, when configured for maximum effect? What if someone is running a cab that's attached to an internal wireless LAN, and has a full firewall and anti-virus? That will also affect the number of CPU cycles the system has, and I hate to tell you, if you're running onboard video and using your CPU cycles on other programs, your video can be affected. I know my cab will, when I complete it.
My point is this. You don't have the prior knowledge to know what people are going to build without asking questions, and you certainly do NOT have the right to call others' experience into account when they're trying to give an opinion that differs to your own.
