If your games involve at best early 32bit graphics, then yes all that is possible.

Really Wifi is still being tested and although I cant be 100% sure there is a Pocket PC that has Wifi internet I'm sure one is atleast about to be released. As for memory I believe the current maximum is 128MB SD-ram.

If were talking about 802.11 B/G then most mid-high end Pocket Pc's will come with it built in. If it does come built in there are numerous Compact flash adapters avalaible for the purpose.

A Note on games though........

unlesss you intend to run *cough* *cough* emulators on it, all freeware and comercial games for Windows Mobile (along with most other aplications) can only be installed while in activesync with a PC.
In other words while you can download the install files for games from the PPC its self you cannot install them unless you transfer them to a larger computer and then run them.

I own of an Dell Axim X50v and it has easily run all the freeware and comercial demos I have thrown at it (I also find I do a lot of my web browsing from it). it is a very good machine but Dell has replaced it with the X51 series which have signifacantly more RAM but also have much steeper prices.

My friend has a Dell Axim X30. 300 mhz and it runs the SNES and NES emu I put on it as well as a bunch of pocket titles easily.

If you want to run a PSone emu (yes there is one and it runs FF7 flawlessly) then your gonna need atleast 600 mhz.
