In Reply to: video card for 233 MHz machine posted by Marty on 7, 2001 at 12:21 PM:

: Hi guys, I'm busy putting together my MAME cab and right now it will be stuck with an Intel 233 with 64 MB RAM. I have a Diamond Stealth 2 MB video card in it now, but I am wondering if it would be any help at all to upgrade it to a 4 MB card or if I should be trying to upgrade other things. The newer Neo Geo and fighting games aren't as important to me as playing the older classics. ANy suggestions?

: Thanks

I see that a lot of these combos come with onboard sound, some with video. Can these be disabled fairly easily? And I'm assuming with this horsepower since it's MAME is not video dependent, I could slap in the old 2 MB card and everything would be fine?

Thanks again
