that depends, are u getting a new one ??

after reading a few posts else were, some say a ATI, but I'm using a nvidia and its working fine, tho it is a 6800ultra....

depending on what else u are going to be using it for, depends on what card you get, tho if u are, get ether the ATI X600 upwards or the G-force 6600 upwards both are very good once above these two cards and u wont have to upgrade for a while at least, as there's not many games out there that push these cards to sweating point if u have them backed up with a fast CPU like a AMD64 3000+ or P4 3.0+

just remember, there's no point putting a monster card on a slow CPU (1.5ghz and lower) as u will just create a bottle neck of info because the CPU can not process the information fast enough to handle these new cards.

hope that helped, also as the 6600's are quite cheap now may as well go for a 6600GT unless u want to get a 6800ultra

i have athlon64 3ghz but i am gettin shitty speeds in chankast got a ati 9200 arcadevga edition note i am running this in my arcadecab, i want something that will work with my arcade and fast card for chankast and pc for around £50 lol

what game are u trying to run?

i had a slow down issue with Soul Caliber till i under-clocked chankast using the - key on the numeric keypad then ran it in full screen mode

basically it played fine for about 20mins or so then u could sit and watch the FPS drop to about 25 - 30 , since under-clocking chankast to CPU 60 i get a constant FPS of 50 - 60, and if u live anywhere near Northampton there's a shop called PC exchange that do second hand reconditioned 5900ultra's at £50 tho id run a benchmark on it when i got it to see if its been overclocked

my p4 3ghz gets 70-80 where as my a63 3 ghz gets 40-60

have u tried overclocking the bios (in chankast not your PC ) if u get no improvement in speed then try under-clocking it

to over-clock or underclock the dream cast bios

start chankast, load the game, then on your numeric keypad use the + and - keys to ether under-clock or overclock,

also, althou u have stated your CPU , u have failed to mention what GFX card you have? please tell me u don't own a DELL computer

I dont know so much.. but having a better graphics card can improve some fps to the emulator????

Right now the major factor is CPU power. My crappy GeForce FX5500 with my P4C can usually do VERY well in Chankast.
