Which version of mame to use on old computer

I fried my good computer (don't ask) :banghead: that I was using in my cabinet.  Until I can afford a new one, I want to use an old computer I have on hand.  It's a 900mhtz.  I'm using mala and mame v0.126 but it's super slow.  I will continue to use mala.  I also have full rom sets for mame v0.36 and v0.84.  Which one do you think I should use?  I know neither of them will support the high scores.dat.  Will either of them support the command line -no nag?  Do I need to compile?  Any suggestions?

Thanks

I suggest you shell out 100 bucks and get a core 2 or better.

What style of games are you playing? If it's older vertical style games, the 900mhz will be fine if you run a much older version of Mame. If it's games from the 90's - you'll want a better machine.

.84

80's classics.  Anyone know if the command line -no nag will work on 0.84?
