The runtime part is what concerned me. I don't mind waiting a little for the game to load and I plan to have a minimal amount of programs running in the background, so I hope to minimize this issue.
Thanks everyone for the feedback. Overall, I'm encouraged to try. Also, I'll have the opportunity to test this out myself, as I plan to buy a laptop for non-arcade machine use, so I'll be able to play around with putting memory on and off and see what happens to my framerate, before deciding to migrate the arcade machine to w7 x64.
