My Sony never did died on me when I used to have it. I gave it away to my sister kids to use. I had it for years before the Intel Pen 4 came out. It had a Intel Pen 3, Nvidia 16mb card and low memories. I did got a Nvidia 64mb card and more memories that is about 512mb for the replacement. I did remember trying out MAME on it back in the day when it had a few games working.
