I run Windows XP (Pro) on my PII 400 (it has 384MB RAM) and I run MAME .72.

I have ZERO complaints with that setup.

You might want to qualify "Best" .. I like my setup for it's ease and convenience.. I suppose if "Best" meant lowest cost some dos or linux setup with 128-256MB ram would be something to consider.
IntruderAlert:
My definition of best refers to how well the games will play
Chris:
DOS is more efficient than anything, but video and sound drivers on an integrated board can be hard to come by.
IntruderAlert:
I 'll need USB so I guess I'll try XP
If it's not up to snuff I guess I'll be using my P3 600 in my upcoming Jukebox or as a server on my home network.
By the way.. this P3 600 is an HP and I don't believe there is any way to overclock it
or should I even bother?

Based on my own experiences, I would either use DOS or XP... nothing in between.

I would also add Windows 98SE (note the SE version).
