Fast?

[DuDe]

This thread looks like a nice philosophical debate between people who like talking about things they have no clue about

Right on.

it won't run faster in a 32-Bit pc, cuz it isn't developed for 64-bit cpu's ...

But a version compiled in a 64bit with the proper flags can run more faster the interpreter mode, am i right? - of course only in theory

I imagine there would be decent benefiits in x86_64 mode on an Athlon 64 simply due to more registers. This would especially affect register caching.

Guess I'm the only one lost. Nice read though.

I thought the graphics card didnt matter a whole lot with emulation. As emulation is mostly done in software by the cpu.

However a graphics card that supports pixel shader 2.0 would be recommended. (I think)

but really radeon 9600 or less should be fine shouldnt it?

For 3D emulation a video card is VERY important.

Generally, ATi cards chould be the best for this I believe... if you got pixel shader 2.0, I believe it will get much faster with a faster CPU - and not with an 9800 XT.
