700mhz will only get you going with some old version of MAME, like 0.78 or earlier.

Raspberry Pastry for sale. May take longer than anticipated to arrive because of the high percentage of loss due to poor handling, up to 40%. :blah:

I disagree...I run a much newer version on my old PC and it's only 800mhz. Just about everything played just fine save for the known problem children.
(I havn't checked in a while but I want to say 114 or thereabouts...I think I set it up in 2008 so whatever was current then)

You aren't really missing anything by running an old mame version anyway, particularly on older hardware. What would you really be missing out on, mahjong games, fruit machines, trivia games and a bunch of 3D games that require a beastly computer to run and specialty controls to play?
Very few games of any importance got added after about .60 or so and each and every mame release is slower than the last (a generalization, may get faster for some games while getting slower for others but the overall trend is towards slower). That is why you will see plenty of people running cabinets with ancient mame versions and not bothering to update the mame version on their desktop either.
Pretty much every game you ever hear much chatter about was emulated pretty much perfectly 10 years ago.
