In Reply to: Second Thoughts...Arcade monitor or not?? posted by John Mac on 20, 2000 at 1:53 AM:
: I purchased an arcade monitor (as well as a cap kit, just in case) but have not put it in my machine yet.
: I realized that I think my 17 inch monitor looks pretty damn good. I never have any problems with drivers, different games, etc. I am running pure dos and the arcadeos frontend and am extremely happy.
: I am surprized at how many complaints I hear about the monitors and how many problems people have with them.
: Here is my question, do you think I should have upgraded my cpu/motherboard instead of buying the monitor (I only have a p120 running the show). The machine fast enough for most games. I am just wondering, has anyone else changed to a monitor and then thought, "hey, what is the big deal?"
: Thanks for your thoughts.
: john
I would have voted for the the cpu/motherboard myself. I plan on putting my 17" monitor into a cab when I upgrade (read replace) my current AMD K6-2 300 system. I figure a nice new system will definately need a nice new 19" monitor. Just my opinion though.
