2dguy Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I bought a fancy pedestal arcade from extremehomearcades.com years ago, it runs all the old school games just fine, here's the older kit: Windows XP 4gb ram Intel Pentium CPU G2120 @ 3.10ghz Gefore GT 640 1TB Hard Drive I'm upgrading the kit to have: Windows 10 16gb ram Intel 3rd Gen i7-3770 Geforce GT 640 (same gpu) 1TB SSD I just want to run the older mame arcade games, 8bit, 16bit consoles, Atari 400-XE, Atari ST, Amiga. Will the updated kit be ok to run BigBox & the old school stuff? Thank you for any comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LB installed on SSD will help with image cache speed (i.e., scrolling, media views). For the actual emulators plenty fast for what you listed. Most depend on the CPU vs graphics cards so good there as well. The RAM upgrade from 4GB will be helpful overall for general OS speed (at least 8 GB).
