Best frontend for an AMD Athlon XP 1.4Ghz

What would be the best frontend for me to use with an AMD Athlon XP 1.4 gig?  And what would be the best emulator then to use with it?

I vote for mame for the emulator... But also consider Daphne, Nebulam2, Zinc, Modeler,  and Viva... I use a few others, but these are my main ones now.  This doesn't include consoles...

As for a frontend.  With 1.4ghz, I would go windows and a windows frontend.  Then decide what you want it to lookilike.  

Tons out there.   Read this board because there are at least 5 regulars on this board who have written FE's designed specifically for a cabinet (mine included....)

Umm...Frontends are really just a matter of preference.  They don't depend on the speed of your computer at all.  The mostly depend on things like:

1. How it looks
2. How configurable it is
3. What controls you use
4. If it's in an cabinet or not
etc...
