Best processor price/performance for emulation only

<< < (2/5) > >>

Cakemeister:
For my new desktop I went with a Phenom II 550 black edition. I'm very happy with the price to performance ratio.

speedklz:
For most of the High end games that wont run under mame I have found a pc version or a port to some other source that will run.

joemama:
If you go with a C2D, DDR2 is the same price as DDR3 now. I would go with an AMD cpu like the Phenom II 550 or a 955 for a little more.

The performance of the PhenomII 550 is close to the E8400.

Blanka:
The E8400 overclocks perfectly to 3.3-3.5 Ghz as well.

People should start commenting if your stuff can run the Gauntlets, yet :(
