would this pc run these mame games?

cheers for the anwers, i would test it myself but its at my dads house like 50 miles away. i just bought a p4 3Ghz processor off ebay for £15 so hopefully MK will run better now.

Hope that helps.

How do you determine the percent that the game is running? Just by frame rate?
I tried MK I and MK II last night. At some points they were perfect. Other points lagged noticeably and it affected game play. I have a 3ghz dual core CPU and 4gigs of RAM.

Unless I'm mistaken, the more recent MAME builds report benchmarks in a percentage, and not frames per second.

Well, do you guys screw in your plexi? That is what is bothering me. Mine is going to be screwed in (don't know a better way) and I'm worried it will eventually either crack or the holes in the wood will get worn out.
Turnarcades:
For your monitor plexi, create a couple of retainers at the bottom and top - just a couple of strips of wood with the ends of the plexi sanswiched between. Drilling plexi is risky and looks pants on monitor plexi.
As for the arcade games you're trying to emulate - I think you're being a bit ambitious. Yes these games are emulated, but no amount of processing power will get them perfect. Although some run well, the software that runs the emulation is still not perfect, so hardware performance will not necessarily make them 'faster'.
If you are looking to play some of these games, look at hard-wiring a playstation pad to your controls and using console ports instead (This covers your Tekken and Soul Calibur bases close enough, plus games like Toshinden, Soul Blade, and even the cool PS1 port Mortal Kombat Trilogy.), or use a PSX emulator for some of these games and stick with the SNES version of UMK3 for playability.
Moving into polygon technology is generally where emulation begins to stuggle, and coding is still a long way from perfect. As for advanced Midway boards, the MAME performance has always been off as they strive for accurate emulation, not speed.
