What's the top speed, or a relatively good speed you can get in project 64 with a 500 mhz procesor? I'm currently trying to get a more powerful p3 procesor or a p4 procesor, but until then, im just wondering.

My specs are on the bottom of the post.

I got ~30fps with SM64, PJ64 default plugins with my old 450MHz AMD K6-2 with 8MB integrated SiS 530 Video, 64MB RAM, WinXP Pro. All other games I tried were virtually unplayable. I now get 140fps with my new computer with SM64. I'd say getting my new comp was definitely worth it.

I also got around 30fps in Mario64, around 20-25 Mario kart, and aroud 5-15 on almost all other games on a celeron 433 @ 540MHz w/128MB sdram and with my TNT2 32MB AGP using PJ64/1964 with jabo D3D and azimer audio 0.30(old)(faster), to play games at full speed, better take uhle 2064 or any other uhle.
 
Slow

Well, when I had my old k6-2 ~450 Mhz, voodoo 3 16 Mb, I got around 25/30 in most "standard games" , in zelda for example , I got 20 (70-80 % real n64 speed as stated by glide64), using the mentioned video plugin and the azimer rev 2.2 or whatever its called.
You should try to get a better procesor, and with your videocard, things should fly for you :w00t:

I get most games at full speed or close to full speed by using 1964, JaboD3D or my video plugin, with Hacktarux RSP+BasicAudio or Azimer 0.30b or Schibo's new audio plugin.

My CPU is PIII-500 with 496 MB PC100 memory, running 640x480 windowed mode on my Geforce 2 MX400.

The key is to use lower resolution, faster DirectX video plugins, HLE audio plugins, relatively higher CF setting (CF=3, 4 or 5 with 1964), and don't use RSP.

I got Mario 64 constantly over 60~80 vi/s, Zelda OOT 45~75 vi/s, Zelda MM 40~60 vi/s.

The performance is also depended on your memory speed, motherboard speed, and especially your video card. My PIII 1000MHz laptop, 256MB memory, with an onboard sharing memory video card, runs much slower than my desktop which has PIII-500MHz.

My office desktop PC has 1.7G P4 CPU, 512 MB memory, but only a Rage 128 Pro video card, runs appearently slower than my PIII 500Hz PC at home.

On my old 486 I got 40-50 fps on SM64, I recently upgraded to a 2ghz processor which I overclocked to 2.1 the other day.. now I get this..
