: Neo Geo roms are not the most advanced games as far as CPU requirements, NeoGeo games will run perfectly smooth down to a pII or celeron at 266mhz or above, as long as you have at least 128 megs of ram.

Thanks for the info.

: The most CPU intensive games at the moment would probably be the newer midway stuff w/ sound enabled like MK series, nba jam, etc. The minimum to get that going at full speed is a PIII at 7 to 800mhz. What that translates to on the amd side, im not really sure.

It seems then the most advanced MAME games...or at least the most CPU intensive MAME games, need a 700 to 800MHz CPU to run 100% smooth.

Now what I need to find out is how well an AMD Duron 700 compares to an PIII 700 as far as MAME goes.
