1. Two comments: To find an motherboard worth a crap that dont have a onboard graphics processor, good luck. Just because it has ine dont require you to use it. however using it as an secondary monitor for servicing is not a bad idea. And second all that you need is 1 or 2 onboard usb spots. You will want to use an Ipac (usb version) to connect controls. The motherboard and processor should be as fast as you can get to meet the needs of the current games and relesae of up coming ones. you need to know how to properly configure mame to work properly with your hardware.
