Ideal Emulation Rigs?
newmanfamilyvlogs:
The current onboard stuff coming from ATI/AMD has really not been that bad for a lot of situations.
The biggest question regarding those emulators is going to be how you plan to display those games.
If you're looking at running them at 1080p with 16x antialiasing and anisotropic filtering, then its probably worth looking into a dedicated card. If you're going to be running them at 1024x768, then an HD3000 will probably work.
DillonFoulds:
Yeah, all 4 machines will be attached to arcade monitors, so probably running games around 640x480i...
I think I'll go ahead ordering the ram maybe in a 2x1gb (unless you guys think i should go for 4gb?). As for the video cards, maybe I'll order as-is, and if I find that there's not enough *oumph*, then I'll add dedicated cards.
HaRuMaN:
I always try to by RAM in pairs, mainly so if one stick goes bad, you can still operate.
postmortem:
I run an AMD Phenom II X6 1090T 3.2ghz (now less than $300).. it runs every (known working) game ive tried so far including NFL Blitz. Im sure the Turbo on the processor helps.. Its a 6 core processor and when the computer isnt using all cores, it will disable 3 of the cores and automatticly overclock the 3 remaining cores to 3.6ghz. I think if you arent gonna be overclocking, a CPU with the turbo feature might be a good idea
