Amithlon cpu speeds and emulator for games?

[desiv]

I had it running sweet on an Athlon XP 1800+ system with 68k UAE for games, it did not seem to have any problems.

and...

68k uae for example I was never 100% happy with until I upgraded my amithlon box to a 3ghz core2duo.

So, is this just perception or ?
That's a rather larger chasm there....

Amithon seems to be quite an adventure getting a box working,

Yeah, my curiosity was piqued when I heard Amithlon and AMD 1800 in the same sentence, as I have a box of that power (or lack thereof) handy, and would consider playing...
But if it's not worth it, personally I'm not at the "spend money" stage for that project.
All my hobby money is going into my classic Amiga's currently (mostly the 1000 recently)..
(well, that and my Vectrex a bit..  Don't tell the Amigas, they get jealous.. :confused: )

If you have a classic already and running 68k version of UAE isnt important to you then amithlon will work very nicely on that machine

Hmmm..  Good point.. ;-)

I think the current video card in there is a geforce fx something, it's been a while.. ;-)  It works fine for Ubuntu, although I remember I do have to toggle 3D desktop effects OFF if I want to play Linux "native" Neverwinter acceptably.  ;-)
(I told you, it's been awhile since I used that PC..)
