My project is going, but I'm at a point where trying to do much more is requiring me to buy the parts I need. Got to just do it. I'm trying to find a good system for my MAME cab. As far as motherboards, processors, RAM, and video cards go, I'm stuck trying to decide where I should go. I've been thinking about something along the lines of an ASUS A7A266 motherboard with some type of AMD 1GHz CPU, 128 MB of DDR RAM, and a decent video card, say maybe a GeForce2 MX 400? Can anyone help me decide? Am I going too far overboard, not enough, just right? Is there anything w/ more bang for the buck as far as motherboards and processors go? Where can I get parts at a great price and get quality, not trash (I already know about pricewatch.com) Is a GeForce 2 MX 400 card too much? (Will be running the output of the video card through an AverKey 300 Gold to a Wells Gardner U2000 monitor). ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
