What is the minimal exceptible standard for a PC to run Mame

Minimal Acceptable Standard?
How about a Thinkpad 365x with 8MB RAM, 128mb CF and a P120?
You could go 486 DX 75 which should play those classics fairly well. The above gets 60fps on pacman and the like.
I have just hacked the above thinkpad for a cool Mame project. Not bad for a £10 laptop and plays the 2000 odd games that the classics hold. Not to mention nesticle, and the similar vein emulators of that era.
Windows 95 is a capable platform to run emulators and you can shrink the install to 30mb, but you would do better running Mame Dos on Dos 7. Much easier than DSL.
After decasing the Thinkpad - the whole motherboard is very tiny with passive cooling and very light in weight. I just wished it was a P233 to play Starwars..... Oh well. :dunno

So that's what people mean by DOS, these days?

What are some of the newer games that run good on a 2-3 Ghz computer- Almost every one I try is just about unplayable. ???
