which computer would be better?

brad808:
Intel tends to perform better clock for clock in mame

ohioratrodder:
i prefer intel only because i know more about them. If i found a good deal on a mobo/cpu amd bundle or built computer i would buy it.

brad808:
In most cases Intel is recommended for mame because it performs better. Amds will be slightly cheaper for a higher clocked cpu but they won't preform as well.

i5, that's what I would choose.

With that powerful of a setup you will probably find a lot of other games other than MAME that you can run on it.  U360s so that you have more options with games?

I am building two machines, one 2 player and one 4 player. The 2 player will be mostly for2d  fighting games and a few other odd games i like. That one i can throw together a bunch of old parts i have and make it work. The four player is the one i am worried about, its for me and the kids to play anything from the xmen/tmnt/cadillac and dinosaurs up to nfl blitz/gauntlet dark legacy. My computer now plays both of them fine but its a gaming computer i build about 5years and still plays most new games on high res so i am not ready to retire it yet. I didnt know nfl and gauntlet need such a powerful cpu because we always played them on my pc and i thought nothing of it till now. I have an over clocked i7 920 that ran at 4.0 stable since new. Do you have and idea what a good min cpu to look for to run both of them games? I am not worried about anything really beside on it either, will the i5 2400s be fine?
