I just got my motherboard and Duron 600 which I'm going to overclock to 1 GIG. I'm almost 99% sure that it will be more than enough to run the Midway games at full speed. I'll let you know when I get it up and running.
Game on!! Brian
: A few posts below I mentioned i'm making my own arcade setup and the main CPU was going to be a AMD TBird 800MHz. Now i made that decision for only one reason...
: I used to have a PII 400 that ran better graphic games like Indiana Jones & The Temple of Doom and Smash TV VERY poorly...they were very choppy. Then I recently upgraded my main computer to an AMD TBird 800 and now those type of games run extremely smoothly!
: My question is though, will a Duron 800 or even a Duron 700 CPU still be fast enough to give me perfectly smooth playability on those type of games?
: And what about Neo Geo ROMS? (I don't have any yet, so I couldn't test how my TBird 800 would work on them...but I know they are the most advanced MAME games that would tax my CPU the most)
