Define "enough".  If by that, you mean "to play the classic games", then I would agree with you.  For some, however, you can enjoy a bit of a speed boost with better hardware.

oyama82:
its enough for ALL mame games (tekken tag,mortal kombat 4,san fransisco rush,etc)
mame doesnt care for video card like it cares for raw cpu power
and dual core motherboards have good enough onboard vga anyways

I've seen a difference many times using better cards versus crappy cards/onboard video.

oyama82:
we are talking about cards like intel 3100,hd4500,nvidia 8200, and other current onboard cards
these cards have no problem running mame fullspeed

now if you mean Sis,VIA and other older chips,ok,these are not enough for recent mame versions

Hoopz:
Avoid XP64 if possible. You'll run into driver issues with it.  I'd suggest Win 7 64.
