In Reply to: VSyncMAME with onboard motherboard SiS 530 AGP Chipset? posted by -Tom A. on 3, 2000 at 10:27 PM:

Not sure what this VsyncMAME is like, but Advance MAME does 16bit ntsc modes and a whole *lot* more.

: I want to build a new computer to be used as a dedicated MAME machine to be used on an arcade monitor. I want my videocard to be able to display 16-bit color on an arcade monitor. It looks like VSyncMAME is the way to go.

: I can buy a Voodoo 3 card if I need to but what about the SiS6326 series of video cards as recommended by Suzuki2go on his website? Would this card be just as good as a Voodoo 3 card?

: Also, the Asus P5S-B Socket 7 motherboard has the SiS 530 AGPset onboard. This same chipset is mentioned in Suzuki2go's SiSMAME. Is this 530 AGPSet the same thing as the SiS6326 series?

: What I am getting at is could I buy this Asus mainboard with the SiS 530 AGPset and use VSyncMAME on an arcade monitor without buying a dedicated videocard?

: I forgot to mention, this new machine will run DOS only and only be used for MAME on a real arcade monitor.

: Lastly, I am thinking of buying an AMD K6-2 550MHz processor (100MHz FSB) for this mainboard, is this a better choice than an Intel Celeron (66MHz FSB) on a Celeron compatible mainboard?
