Let's say I want to run ALL the NON-NeoGeo MAME games only for instance. Can I get by with a 486, and if I were to use a 486 would I suffer much, or would it be decent?

You'l get OK speeds, but slow downs happen when too many characters are on screen

To cover all bases on all NON-NeoGeo MAME games how fast of a Pentium processor should I plan on using?

A Pentium 100 runs most games at 56fps average, with the non-optimised C core.

If I WERE to go all out and do ALL games including NeoGeo's, how fast of a processor should I plan on and how much HDD space?

AMD Athlon 700 should run neogeo games and SmashTV at full speed and sound

non-neogeo roms take up about 10K-500K each. I have 18 games totaling 2.6MB in my colection
neogeo roms, I don't know
