Oh, and here's a quick primer for an "optimal" GroovyMAME setup.
1) Core2Duo or better. MAME runs way better on Intel hardware, and modern versions of MAME need lots of CPU power.
2) Windows XP x64 Edition. MAME runs way better on 64-bit operating systems, and Windows 7 is very broken when it comes to dealing with arcade monitor resolutions. Plus, CRT_EmuDriver only works on XP (64-bit or 32-bit).
3) ATI Radeon X300, X600, or HD 4xxx series (assuming a PCIe motherboard). If you need the extra power for running modern PC games (i.e. not MAME), then go for the HD 4xxx, otherwise pick up a cheap x300 or x600 on eBay.
There's also Groovy Arcade Linux, which is a little more flexible with the video card choices, if you're into the Linux thing.
