Did you erver do much with the motherboard, etc?
Some Pentium 4 motherboards support some C2D cpus for a quick and cheap upgrade

I got some parts lying around like a 4th gen i3 cpu but finding a cheapo itx mobo is an issue.
The gt730 runs crt-geom shader perfect in mame and it should run full speed too on the igpu of a 4th gen intel i3.
Also one of those thin client pc's would be ideal but how to use an external power switch with it??
@Ravenger thats excellent do you have a link or model number for the smart plug your using?
I may be able to get away with using an apu and removing the gt730. Depends if i can get a high spec one for cheap. The 760k has plenty of grunt so don't want to downgrade on the cpu side much.
cab is running mame only for arcade stuff. when kids are on it they play a lot of final fight, turtles, double dragon and other scrolling beat em ups.Love this kind of stuff , ram is on its way and should be there tomorrow matey, what emulators are you set to use?
Hi Cyber-Mav - I don't know that all the slots are working. I had two sticks of RAM and one of them stopped working (which is why there was only one stick in the board). I had assumed it was the RAM stick that failed (as RAM so often does), but it could have been the slot.@Chris Beard do you know if both the ram slots were working on this mobo? would have to pull out the board and put it on test bench and clean out the slots if it was working for you in the past. either way single 4gb stick of ram is plenty in this system since its running Tiny10, a stripped out windows 10 os. even 2gig would be plenty for my needs lol.
no worries, for free i cant complainHi Cyber-Mav - I don't know that all the slots are working.

My apologies - I didn't mean to create any bother!
