What games will I NOT be able to play with a PII 733?
exibar:
I have an old Dell demension Pentium III 733 with 512Meg RAM and an 80 Gig HD that I'm going to be using for my Mame cab with 25" WG arcade monitor.
Does anyone else have a similliar setup? I'd like to know what games I WILL NOT be able to play with this machine. I'm using Arcade OS, running on DOS and will be using z26, NESticle, MAME, and perhaps a couple other emus as well. The importance is on MAME, of course though.
What's the highest CPU I can put in a Dell Demension 733? If I have to, I'll upgrade it, but like the rest of us, I don't want to spend needless money if I don't have to.
thanks all!

One of my setups is a pIII 550, 256mb pc100 ram, running windows 98 and fastmame .84. I can't play mortal combat or any fighting game like it. I also can't play puzzle bobble 4 (? I think)
I can play mavel v capcom and the like. ALL the old games run great.
When you're done test MK and MK3 and let me know how they work.

My office comp is a p3 700 which struggles with MortalKombat on the new versions of mame. I remember when I first got into mame (version 5#?) it ran fine. So maybe with an older version you won't have trouble with much. The cabs I have built had new comps so I never had to worry about it so unfortunately I can't give you any real good specifics.
paigeoliver:
Using a Mame around .69 or so you should be able to run darn near everything, except hard drive games, STUN Runner, and SOME of the Mortal Kombat hardware games.
You aren't going to get enough of a processor upgrade out of that system for it to matter.

I have a p3 733 w/ 512 memory in my arcade using MAME .66. I am very happy with it. It will not run CHD games, and has trouble w/ mortal combat as well as a few other games. However, it runs everything that I want it to in MAME.
