--- Quote from: Zebidee on September 12, 2007, 01:56:26 am ---I've found that P4 3.0 Ghz, 512mb ram, socket 775 motherboard works very sweetly for cabs.  The CPUs run much cooler on socket 775 mobos than the socket 478 ones, and this is important as cabinets can trap hot air.  Modest AGP video cards works fine, say ATI 9250 or 9550.  It is fast enough for most arcade-style games.  And plenty fast enough for other common applications too.

Such a system would be about 1/2 the price of a Core 2 Duo system or similar.

Don't buy Intel Dual Cores, ew.



Okay so maybe that is overclocked, but I payed half of what I would have for the top of the line Intel chip.

Hey Austin.Wolff, that looks like a neat PC utility.
Is that a free download or was it packaged with your MB?
If its a freebie, please tells us where you got it..
