Would this motherboard run hyperspin fine?

So instead of buying another xbox and mod chip, I'm going the PC route. I can at least build computers and configure them fine :)

There are other front ends, if the E-350 doesn't run HyperSpin very well. It doesn't sound like you're overly attached to the idea of HyperSpin.

Really? What else is there? I have all the emulators and roms downloaded.
I don't care about what frontend to be honest. I just want to play my mame and classic games with my friends :)

Lots.
For a hint -- go to the listing of 'Support of the forum for a few, such as:
* Mala
* WahCade / MameWAH
* Maximus Arcade
* AdvMENUPlus
These are the arcade machine oriented frontends. Hyperspin's really popular, but unfortunately, it's written using Flash -- so requires far more oomph than the emulators that it generally runs!

I only discovered AdvMENUPlus because of Calamity and VeS' work with GroovyArcade. It's primarily an Italian / Spanish project from the looks of it. It's the default frontend for GroovyArcade. :) I've been working on integrating Cabrio into GroovyArcade, which is HyperSpin-esque but without requiring Flash and works on Linux.

I think I bought too high of a soldering iron, or I just completely suck at it. Last time I soldered was in my high school electronics class. That was eight years ago.
Here's how bad I messed it up:

I don't have a picture of the xbox, but it looked the same. I threw it away out of frustration.
