For example, running games, ranging from Pac-Man to Die Hard [STV] to NFL Blitz?

For example, running games, ranging from Pac-Man to Die Hard [STV] to > NFL Blitz? None. Zero. You want an SSD as your C:\ drive with the OS and apps/games and conventional rotating storage for your D:\ with the ROMs and CHDs.

Would be nice to have a better way to stream CHD data though, so that CHDs could run over network drives without the wireless network bottleneck precluding their usefulness (currently CHDs stream audio horribly over even the fastest 802.11n).
