:the computer that I go with should be: Pentium 2, 200-300 MHz processor, 128 MB ram and a decent sound/video card. Is this about right. I am looking to run windows 98 with the MAME software and I will need to get a TV/TV out video card.

because of where prices are at now (and general performance of MAME32 depending on what you want to run), I'd get a stronger comp... AMD Athlon 1.2 or so... if you look at pricewatch.com, you won't spend any more money to get that than you would the PII and motherboard, and because ram is so cheap right now, there'd be no point in getting anything less.

: What should I go with for the video card (ATI Rage Fury Pro)?

if you're gonna be running a TV-out, the Rage Fury Pro would be a very good choice. ATI is generally regarded as having the best TV-out on the market (the Rage Fury Pro is what I'm gonna go with on my TV cab).
