I have 2GB RAM, and it handles all the Gauntlets fine. I can play SF Rush too. And on my previous 1.8GHz Core 2 Duo games like Cruisin USA and Cruisin World would stutter - now they are great.

I hit 3.6GHz pretty easily with the stock Intel cooler, but this wasn't quite good enough for these games. It wasn't until I put on the Core Contact cooler and pushed it to 4GHz that they stopped stuttering. And I had to set it to a slightly higher voltage to hit 4GHz - but now it is very stable. And I don't really know what I am doing, so there may be a way to get the voltage lower. It works great for me, and I am happy.

Edit: Make sure you make the jump to a 64-bit OS and recompile MAME. It will give you a 10% boost, or more.

DillonFoulds:
recompile mame? Isn't there a 64bit version on mamedev?

Silly Burrito:
So what would currently be the easiest chip to overclock and hit 4Ghz? The E8400 seems to be the biggest bang for the buck chip, but if the E7500 can do the same with the same type of cooler, is there any reason to spend the extra $50?

Well I'm about to setup my e6300 (wolfdale 2.8ghz)with a coolermaster V8 to see if I can get 4ghz out of it. Will be my first OC'ing experience.
Should be fun. Will report setup of course.
