How much power do you need?
Gunstar Hero:
I figured the XP2000 would be overkill for MAME and grabbed it for a song. Maybe a 3GHZ someday, bot for now this is my beast! As for more RAM, it couldn't hurt!
Are there any tips on improving MAME performance you can give? I still get alot of chop on KI2, and frameskip doesn't seem to help much!
paigeoliver:
How can a motherboard be on its last legs?
Also, I was playing the mortal kombat games full speed before Ghz processors even existed. It is called using an older mame version. Sheesh!
Gunstar Hero:
LOL. Well, when it went bad, I assumed that it was "on it's last legs." =)
Truth be told, it may have been several other things that killed the old beast, but I assumed that it was the crappy old HP mobo, since all the other stuff I yanked out worked upon reinstallation into another box. Maybe a power surge? I don't really know, I'm a bit of a novice at this stuff. =)
Any MAME performance tips you can give me paigeoliver? I'm just starting to mess with settings and whatnot, so any help you cann offer would make my day!
Wizard of DelRay:
Killer Instinct 2 runs kinda so-so for me also, so for now I don't even list it in my frontend. Now newer games will 'probably' run like crap for quite some time. Then again War Gods is not so new and it runs pitifully, so who knows?

Well you are already using a really fast computer. Use older versions of Mame for the stuff on mortal kombat hardware. I could care less about the hard drive games, so I have nothing to say about them.
