Ah, was a special on dual core processors down my local computer shop, so just upgraded the Cabinet to


Core 2 Duo 2.53Ghz E7200 + Heatsink/Fan
2GB ddr2 667mhz
ASRock Board with AGP for my ArcadeVGA2 Card

Cost me €185 for the 3 which I thought was a bargain for Irish prices so couldnt resist

Setting it all up now Yay!

The Core2Duo's do an amazing job with HyperSpin, there was a huge difference compared to my comparisons with an AMD 4200+ X2 (Which is a decent processor in it's own right). Not to say that hyperspin doesnt work well on lesser processors, it's just that it really shines with a modern cpu.

Any plans to go 64-bit, cathaldub? (XP x64 / MAMEUI 64)?
