Does a 3.2Ghz Celeron D seem like it'll perform well enough for most games currently emulated?  My PIII 733 tends to lag while using GameEx, and I was thinking that this would be a good upgrade.  Anyone agree? 

I'd be using my NVidia GeForce 4 MX420 with S-Video out for my TV that I use as a screen.

What kind of boxes do you guys run?  Thanks a lot.

meh..... I wouldn't put any money into Tiger Direct's pockets....

if it's got a rebate don't plan on getting it.....

Hi There,

I don't think you'll have any problems running with that setup really. The PC i currently run in my unfinished cab is only a lowly PIII 1ghz with a Geforce3TI 500 card & this seems to run the latest roms very well. I always found GameEx to run a little slow though so i ditched it in favour of MameWah.

Hope this helps

Steve

Yeah..  I would use Mamewah, but, I can't seem to figure out how to import a "reduced" gamelist... I removed a bunch of "junk" roms, like, Mahjong games, adult games, japanese puzzle games I'll never play...

But, I can't seem to figure out how to get this reduced amount of games into Mamewah.  While we're at it, does anyone have any suggestions for this?  Thanks!
