Ok the only real bottle neck on your system is the vga ( video ) That card will play n64 just fine as well as any generation before it including play-station. You computer also has an extra pci-e port for a video upgrade should you consider that at some point.

That said, your system looks to be find for pj64 ( n64 emulator ). Anyone else concur?

I dont understand this question.

Okay ulao, "bottle neck" what is that? And I'm guessing you meant [CART] here not "car."

I dont understand this question.

I had to read that twice myself. I left out the word "I". I was asking if I were to load an N64 em would it place much more of a strain on my resources?

Btw, thanks for starting the thread...

[ulaoulao]

Type-o's on those sorry.. FIXED. Guessing you know what that is now but if not, bottle necks slow stuff down.

Let me help you on this a bit. A computer will do what it can, if a program tries to stress it the computer will simply reject that request and run slower. This is the simplest way I can explain that. So no application or emulator will ever hurt/stress your computer. Instead the computer will just give less power to the requested. In the case of emulation that means slower emulation. Now the "bottle neck" here is the video card. So your video may be choppy and slow. IMO I dont think it will, but I'm no expert on low end systems. This is what they call a integrated video card and they are well known for being slow. Since you have a nforce chip set, that means the integrated card is a true ( but slimmed down ) nvidia card. This means its a good brand and I still feel its more then enough to run n64 games. This is the limit though, no newer console emulators will run.

Okay, got that. Also got "bottle neck." Is there a spell check in here, btw? Because I don't type I a hen, I use my email spell checker a lot and some sites like GameFAQS have in post checkers.

So now nothing higher than N64, but what about something lesser. So if I wanted to go retro and do BurgerTime or zOn Thin Ice or even PitFall ... could I load them with no problem even with the n64 onboard? I think all those games were for Intellivision. I think... hmmm...

headed to Google that.

[ulaoulao]

Well if you feel like a change... Get a browser called firefox, it has a built in spell check. So anything you type is always spell checked. I assume you are using internet explorer? May be a bit of a pardgm shift for you but its worth it. There is also chrome that many people like. Though, no TEZ does not have a spell checker.

Yes, lesser is always doable. Those are from the atari days, you need stellx for that. Works with keyboard out of the box, so no set up. FYI, atari threatened us for copy write issues. I dont know where we stand on that but tread lightly on the subject. again if you have more question its always best to make new threads.

[clules]

I'm glad you brought up the browser thing. Is there a forum here for such issues or questions?

So now, Yes... I'll tread lightly. Although, I like to do behind the screen talking via PM in-site, How is it you say you don't have PMing. Is it an option? I thought it was standard. Oh, do you mean you CHOSE not to accept PMs? Someone told me in another site that what is said even in PMs is viewable by admins if they so desire. Is that true here also. Oh, I'm sorry, here I am assuming you're admins or a mod.

I never said that?

Not sure where you got that from, unless it was an assumption. Yes If someone PM's me with nonsense I will not reply.

Its a good assumption since I edited your post...

[edit]to turn off PMs see option at the last post in this thread. To not receive PMS from a user you have to block someone, if you do that you want be able to read their posts. Me personally, I dont really reply to PM's unless I know the person. I think you sent me a PM about sending me... and this is a quote from memory... "programmed EM to test". Now going back to before I got to know you, this I consider absolute nonsense. No offense, I just dont have time for that. Also I wont reply to things that you can ask on the forums. If you have a personal favor I will reply. Makes sense if you think about it hence the p in PM meaning personal.

This is your actual statement: [I dont have a PM, unless you mean that first one?]
Now maybe I misunderstood it. Maybe you were saying you don't have a msg in your PM box. I sent you a PM very soon after I opened the other thread.

Before you dismiss someone's query as "nonsense" remember that there are a lot of "clules" computer owners out there. My SN hasn't been wasted on you has it?

Anytime I send someone a PM or ala "The Twit" a DM, it is personal and not for public view. I am trusting that person with personal info.

But seriously, isn't the choice to recieve PMs a simple matter of checking a box in most sites? Why does it mean blocking someone here? The snow outside has my headbanging. My fault for looking out the window. I love snow, what can I say...
