Suggestions for hardware for current MAME
Green Giant:
On my old AMD 3500 with 1 GB ram and some kind of old video card, I used to run most fighters such as Marvel vs Capcoms and more. This was all on whatever mame was new in 2006-2007.
Currently updating my collection to see what it can handle on a new install.
I can't see how mame would have trouble running any kind game now that it supports dual core processors. Although I think windows 7 could be taxing the system a little more than micro-XP would.

Graphics cards are not essential either then right? Onboard graphics would be ok?
GregD:
Onboard graphics should be fine for Hyperspin...as long as it is a newer pc.

Only if it is of the current generation cpu's that incorporated the graphics card onboard. Something like the i3/5/7 line or the many low power micro computer setups like the AMD E-350.
Any old system where the onboard graphics was handled completely by the motherboard probably won't be enough.

This. Additionally the new onboard graphics have lots of memory too so that's another way to know if it will handle it. You would be looking for onboard graphics with 512MB to 1GB.
