Would this unit work for running all emulators?

newer mame versions support dual core,just enable it on the mame.ini file
with an intel atom you have to put windows xp 32bit(whatever version doesnt matter,tiny xp doesnt offer you more speed on games)
dont expect to run psx based mame games and above,only the below ones

you can still run psx,n64 on other emulators(epsxe,project 64,zinc)fullspeed with the correct plugins
also model 2 and dreamcast emulators are slow on atoms(though if you put another vga they will be playable)

Just get an old Xbox.

that p4 system should be fine for most things.  I am running a p4 3.0ghz, 2gb ram, geforce 4 mx440 and it works great for mame, i dont run other emulators though

oyama82:

your pentium 4 is almost equal to the atoms
so you can run other emulators like a wrote above

Depends on the Pentium 4 - but you're mostly correct.

You can use this site for an idea of what to expect CPU wise - just search "Atom" at the top and you'll see what it is comparable to:
