The Cellar - View Single Post - Any danger in substantially UNDERclocking PCs?

The used system is a possible approach, but not one I really want to pursue right now... it's a $100-150 expense to play one $20 game that I can play passably (if slowly) on my P-133, and it's one more box to clog up my game room. Between the two computers, the toybox full of PSX/NES games and the pinball machine, walking space is already hard to come by.

("Game room" may be a misnomer, of course. The PSX2, modded PSX and Dreamcast are in the living room with the good TV, the NES, TV Boy and my wife's old PSX are in the bedroom, and there's usually a NeoGeo Pocket Color within reach elsewhere in the apartment.)

Now, if I ever get around to a seriously demented gaming project, I'll invest in a cocktail arcade cabinet and see about building a JAMMA MAME box out of it. But between Visual Pinball on the PC, GTA3 on the PS2 and Cardfighter's Clash on the NGPC, there goes the rest of my free time...
