A sub $100 card should be fine for MAME and Hyperspin, so you could go the route I did with an Intel processor and a dedicated graphics card.

My whole processor with integrated video cost a few bucks under $100... And it works great with hyperspin. Not sure why your more expensive and greater processor doesn't work with it. Maybe some sort of bug?

It might be a difference in video drivers between the Intel 2xxx series graphics and 4xxx graphics?
lamprey:
If the main point was will these CPUs run Hyperspin? yes they will. I can run Hyperspin on my "mini/nano-cade" that is running a low(ly) powered netbook.
If you want more power, then by all means get it. I think more power will mostly be wasted for MAME, but you can always try to future-proof your computer as much as possible.
On a side note the latest and greatest from Intel are sweet chips, but they don't overclock as well as previous generations (or perhaps it is luck of the draw). So, if you are looking for maximum Ghz, you might want to look at an older gen (or two back) Intel CPU.
Cheers!

The car salesman did that to me too. Van is still on the lot.

Furthermore, if you are being pressured into a sale, walk away. Or offer them $50 less. The window for the sale has passed. How did it go?
killbill:
I passed on the computers listed. I started thinking about it calmly.
I'm building a bartop machine and I'm going to build it to the size of the PC internals that I'm putting into it. I don't want to have to worry about upgrading in the future.
Here's the brass tax. I'd like the machine to be able to emulate up to: Dreamcast, Naomi, Model 2 and Model 3 smoothly. Anyone have a clue what my base specs need to be for that? I'm wanting to go the Intel route.
Any help is truly appreciated.
By the way, a few posts up, someone mentioned Intel integrated graphics 4000 series. FYI: I found out that Hyperspin will not show game teaser videos through this. You have to buy a dedicated card.
