I do !! and FEAR plays very nicely on buttons and joysticks thanks.... Quite apart from the fact that my cab also has a keyboard draw and isn't solely a MAME machine..... It's also a PVR and gets used for video editing (where processing power and graphics speed is everything).

Do these programs actually translate well on an arcade monitor? Seems like they would just be a hell of a lot better ran on a High-res PC monitor.
Maybe to poll should be how many people would actually run these types of progies on there cab.
From my point of view I would possibly like to run a few pc type games but they would be more the shareware arcade throw back type things. I think PCI would be good also as Kremmit mentioned due to maximum PC compatibility. I also agree that it would be good to see a newer chipset if those two things are not mutually exclusive.
FWIW

So for me, I do see a need for a new card... that has a bit more poke than an ATI 9200.

Sorry, but I don't buy that. Anyone who REALLY plays FPS games will tell you a joystick and buttons will not play the games well. Not to mention most button layouts are horrible for it. In addition.. you like playing FEAR at 800x600? I certainly don't. As for your keyboard and mouse... you don't want to play FPS games standing up either. If you have a stool fine... but you're still staring at a crappy res game that should be running on a high end video card.
High end FPS's are meant to be played on high res screens with a keyboard and mouse... or those FPS specific controllers if they're your cup of tea.
You may play them on your cab, but not many people do. I also doubt that Andy wants to deal with 2 AVGA cards at the same time, as it would just cost more and be confusing. Plus to play good PC games these days at decent rates, he'll have to bump up to a pretty powerful chipset and probably double the price of the card.
Down the road, I'm sure a PCIe AVGA will pop up, and it'll be popular, but I'd bet money that it still uses a low to mid range chipset (at the time of release) and will NOT be focused on PC gaming. That's what PC video cards are for, not the ARCADE VGA.
PCs are for high end PC games, Mame cabs are for Arcade games and arcadey PC titles. My .02

I don't have one yet but I think it needs to be updated just to keep up with most of the new MB out there. I don't care what chipset it uses as long as it plays the classics the way they should be played. Now if some how you can do both with one card that would be cool. Of course you would need a monitor that supports it.

You have a very insulting turn of phrase.... So apparently now I don't REALLY play FPS's.... I'll just go back to my cab and enjoy a few more of the FPS games I apparently don't play
What else is it that you don't buy... You don't buy that my cab gets used as a PVR and video edit console and don't buy that it therefore needs as much processing and video power as I can get in there?? .....AGAIN What you use your cab for is entirely up to you.... What I use my cab for is not up to you. My .02

That's up to you..... My cab happens to have a multisync in it and runs Arcade resolutions and very high PC resolutions AGAIN...What you use your cab for is entirely up to you.... What I use my cab for is not up to you. My .02
You don't like somebody else using their cab for anything other than Mame. Well tough! Grow up and get over it.
Your Avatar quite suits you doesn't it.

IIRC the 9200 has a VGA input.
