4 or 8 mb is plenty, but on-board is not good as it sucks memory and CPU cycles away from emulation.

Tiger: I went back and edited my post. It originally said multiples.

By version it wouldn't be a good basis. Some games do fine on older hardware. For example, I can play the Williams classics just fine on a 450MHz, and that IIRC was with .89. I tried .95 not long ago on a 500MHz, and it was fine as well with
