For a cocktail cab I would go with a dual core atom and 4 GB of memory. The memory is so cheap and windows 7 will be happy you got it. I'd opt for Nvdia ION as well and you should be all right. Something like this would work well - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856173015 |

Sorry I meant to add that I will be using Hyperspin as the frontend too. |

Ive never heard of them before but they do look ideal and neat little systems |

I just finished installing Mame .145 on my old AMD 3400+, socket 939, single core 2.2ghz, 1 gig ram, 8500GT. I only have two button games right now but if it works at all it usually works fine. So even with this modest hardware, current mame runs fine. Now with modern emulators and front ends you will probably want better. Just throwing out my data point for everyone. But if you just want classic games you can get away with using a couple cell phones and some paper clips. |

If you're looking at Hyperspin I would go with a Core i3 at least and 4 GB. |
