OK - I'm convinced to stay with a "bullet proofed" vector monitor. Next
question: ZVG with vectormame - much has been written. If I use a ZVG and
only emulate one game, how much PC horsepower will be adequate say for a
single B&W vs a color vector game or does it not matter? I have a few older
pcs I set aside for this project and want to know if they will be adequate.
