: I've got a socket 7 type Intel Pentium 200Mhz processor running with 32MB of RAM memory, and a 16MB ATI Xpert98 video card. I plan on running ArcadeOS with MAME in pure DOS, and I planned on running mostly simple classic games like Pac-Mans and Donkey Kong, etc and a few shooters like 1942, and Twin Cobra is becoming one of my old favorites again.
your best bet is to get a K6/2 (i think) this totally depends on the voltage that your mobo can
send to the chip. your thing about them not being
reliable is based on 4 year old news. i have had
a string of AMD chips and none of them have given
me any trouble.
as long as you are running pure dos, 32meg should
be ok.
i doubt that the video card will make that much
of a difference. its your cpu that is slowing you
down.
