If you that your target have a read of my Benchmarking thread.

I suggest you read it all, but the numbers start to get ready interesting about page 3.



paigeoliver:
Trying to run ALL Mame games is generally a bad budget decision, 99 percent of them will run on sub ghz hardware full speed. The ones that won't are largely games that use analog controls that you won't have, or things that won't run full speed on anything yet (or both).

If your budget is limited in any way then you will be happier in the long run by using a budget used comp and spending the extra money on the monitor or controls (adding almost ANY type of control buys you more games than any CPU upgrade will).

Although going for a specific frontend isn't exactly the same thing, so I do agree that you should go with hardware that can run the frontend you want.
