video card question
SpeedEng:
got a new mb combo
celeron d 3.06 (yea I know celerons suck ;) I was using a xp1600 so this is a huge leap )
on a p4m800 ecs mobo
768 mb ram
30 (os)+ 80(games) gb hd
im kinda confused on the video part
I read that video cards dont do anything for mame but then I see ppl getting some pretty good vcards (7600gs..ect.) in there for mame
so should I use the on board video or just throw in a older vcard gf4mx or something cheap?
I guess what im trying to ask is will onboard be good enough?
btw this will be a mame only box
ahofle:
I'd start with onboard personally. If you find you are having performance problems, then maybe you could try a cheap video card.

The question here is what your monitor is?
I had to get a decent ati card so I could get the best resolution on my 27" tv.
SpeedEng:
15'' lcd
bartop project :)
Green Giant:
Onboard is fine then. Won't need a video card unless you are looking to run some powerful pc games.
