Noob w/AMD 400 Win98SE
« on: September 30, 2005, 09:42:13 pm »
128 Ram on this puppy, amd I screwed before I start?  Should I upgrade my AMD 1.33 gig and use that machine instead (not really looking to spend more that I have to right now).

I seem to be dumping some decent money into this venture already and would hate to get to the point where I'm ready to start playing only to find out I have to upgrade hardware.

Thoughts?

Screwed?  Hardly.  It really all depends on what games you're looking to play.

Should be fine then, worst case you might need to update the framskip in some of the games like 1941, etc, but this usually isn't too bad.  Why don't you just load MAME on it and fire it up with the keyboard and see if it will work for what you want out of it?

I agree with Crazy Cooter, forgot about recommending an older MAME.
