A 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo or Pentium Dual Core is not that much faster than a 2.4GHz Pentium 4 though. I have a PC here that used to have a 3.4GHz P4 which I replaced with a 1.6GHz Pentium Dual Core. Windows 7 runs better but MAME performance is only slightly faster than it was before.
Try to go past 2GHz at least to get a good speed boost. I saw a used Core 2 Duo E8400 on Amazon US for sixty something dollars the other day. That's a top of the line Core 2 Duo, there are only two models that are faster.
