L2 Cache Per CPU    2 x 512KB
CPU Main Features    64 bit Dual Core Processor

If there is something I should be looking at instead please point me in the right direction.

I have games Im concerned about such as SF3 3rd strike and Tekken3 Tekken Tag which were constantly sound stuttering on my old computer.
Im looking to upgrade to something with the above specs that is somewhat Future proof.

I keep reading that the newer Rom set about the .120s are using more CPU and I didnt know how power I needed to get to avoid these issues.

Sound stutters and Video hiccups are something I'm trying to avoid.

I appreciate any insight I can get.

I have a little bit of choppy video and sound with tekken tag but i have no issue with sf3.  i wish i could tell you more on how to solve your problems but im not sure whats going on with mame on your computer
