How's Mame run on a 3.2GHz P4???

(1/2) > >>

Pasqualz:
I'm getting a great deal from a friend on a Dell Inspiron 4600 with P4 3.2GHz (400MHz bus & HT), 512MB RAM, ATI Radeon 9600 - 128MB vid card with TV out, and Soundblaster Audigy sound card. I'm planning on using this PC in my soon to be built MAME cab and wanted to know if anyone else uses a high-end PC like this for MAME. If you do, how do the newer games run?? I'm wondering if this is overkill and I should swap this new PC with my home office PC (P4 2.4, 256MB). Any comments???

steve_pss:
Many games, say like Beserk, require at least 10Ghz Pentium 7 so you may want to upgrade a bit.

Pasqualz:
LOL Steve! I'll wait until 2007 to build my Cab! ;D I knew I'd get some snide remarks. Keep 'em coming guys!

Jakobud:
Unless you need that extra horsepower for your desktop PC, I'd just use the fast one for Mame.  You won't have to upgrade it for quite a while.

Sylentwulf:
I can easily run .chd's on a much lesser system. Use your desktop PC and add another 256-512mb RAM.
