Isn't that hard drive just a bit too small? :o)

In Reply to: Jammadave and others read: My idea for the ideal computer for someone on a very tight budget (for Mame or other). posted by Agent Davis on 2, 2000 at 4:07 AM:

: Here is my configuration everyone for the best computer for someone on a tight budget computer.

: Socket 7 Barebones system w/keyboard, mouse, case, motherboard, floppy.
: $200 or less. Try http://www.tcwo.com

: AMD K6-2 500mhz CPU: The best processor for the money is the K6-2. Pentium 233 processors cost as much as one of these.
: $60 or less.

: ATI Rage video card. There are a lot of different ones but most will do for maming.
: $40 and up.

: RAM. If you want decent speed then you have to go with 64 megs or more 32 just won't cut it.
: $50 and up.

: Hard drive. 4 megs should do for Mame.
: $50 and up.
Something tells me he meant 4 gigs.


: Sound card. Some MB's have onboard sound but it usually sucks but a $10 cheapo SB16 card should work fine.
: $0-10

: Optional CD-Rom. Some people need these some people won't for their mame machine You can get good ones for about $40 now.
: $40

:
: Mame machine:
: $189 Case, MB, Keyboard, Mouse, Floppy
: $60 64 MB of RAM
: $60 AMD K6-2 500 Mhz
: $40 ATI Xpert at Play 98
: $60 4.3 Gig HD
: $10 Sound Card

: Total $420. Add a CD-rom for about $40 more.
