EDIT: S/b - I have to run Analog+ for dual spinner or trackball games since I have 2 TBs and 2 spinners.
Analog Plus is not a major CPU cycle or memory hog, though.

Howard Casto has been trying to convince people of this for years. Console games are meant to be played for hours on a gamepad, TV, and sofa. Arcade games are meant to be played to 5-10 minutes on an arcade cab.
(I think you might be the only one listening, though 8) )

And of the 30 or 40 that require a faster computer, about 3/4 of those will be unplayable on a P4 3.5 Ghz (when one comes out). So you would really only pick up about 10 games.

Not that it really matters since the OP won't be able to build a computer with one for a few hundred bucks, but Intel already has a 3.8ghz CPU out. Not sure if it would add any games, but they are out.

I have a 466 that does okay for most games PRE 1990.
After that, I have frameskipping.
It handles trackball okay.
I have had trouble playing MK on a 1.0 ghz machine.

My cab is running on a blazing 233 mhz machine and it plays every game I'm interested in. Those are mostly mid 80's and earlier titles though.
