: It's not a stupid question.
Agreed. :)
: The speed of the PC you'll need depends on what you want to do. If you want to play the classic games, (like Pac-Man, Asteroids, Donkey Kong, Etc) you'd probably be fine with a Pentium 266 w/ 32 megs ram.
I disagree. I've got a 486 DX250 with a whopping 8 megs of RAM. Windows 95 and Mame32. The classics (in particular: Joust, Galaxian, Pac-Man, Dig-Dug, Defender, Galaga, and Space Invaders) all run perfectly fine. Course it ain't gonna handle anything like MK, but that's not a big issue with me.
Good Luck!
