What kind of games are you wanting to play?

The 700mhz machine may have some issues with some games... depending on the games and the version of mame you are using.

I wouldn't put any PC with a processor lower then 2.2ghz in a cab, that way you ensure all mame games that are playable work and you can also run almost any PC game like i do on my cab.

The Dreamcast emulater needs more then 700mhz as does alot of N64 games, if you're into console emulation and want to not be limited i would get a better PC. If it's just for mame it should work decent enough.

Goodluck.
