Time to upgrade my arcade PC...

Anything you can buy new today will handle that stuff just fine. If for whatever reason the game you like doesn't run full speed then try it with an older mame version.

Play what?  Different games have different requirements.
Even the fastest processors choke on some games.
The specs you mentioned would play pretty much all 2D stuff up through Killer Intinct, and maybe a little bit of the 3D stuff (Tekken).
Probably not going to play Gauntlet Legends.  Definitely won't run Ridge Racer.
It might choke a little on newer 2D shmups.

If you're not worried about any games newer than Mortal Kombat, it's probably overkill.

Bleh, I should have clarified that I wasn't looking (at least with this computer) to try to play "new" games. I definitely won't be trying Gauntlet Legends, or Mortal Kombat, or Ridge Racer. I'm mostly going to stick with the "old school" arcarde games: Pac-Man, DK, Mario Bros, Xevious, Xenophobe, maybe some Golden Tee, and a few spinner-controlled games.

Thanks for that info though - makes me feel a lot better.  ;)
