Yeah a 3+ GHz P4 with a reasonably modern video card is definitely fine for most games in MAME.
I have said this before, but I recently replaced a 3.4 GHz P4 with an 1.6 GHz Pentium Dual Core (Core microarchitecture, not Pentium D) in my wife's PC. I didn't reinstall, just replaced the CPU.
From comparing FPS in MAME, the Pentium Dual Core is a little bit faster than the Pentium 4 was, which is funny when you look at the clock speed.
But the best part is that simply replacing the CPU totally cured some hanging/crashing issues in 64-bit Windows 7. Not sure if it was the motherboard (Gigabyte board w. Intel P43 and ICH10) or 64-bit Windows 7 that didn't like the P4 but there you go.
