I get choppy/echoing audio on Mortal Kombat 2, Golden Tee Golf, and pretty much everything with more than 5 colors. I think I got choppy sound with galaxian once as well.

Make sure the following parameters are set to their default values:
autoframeskip
frameskip
matchrefresh
waitvsync
throttle

I ran into this problem yesterday. I had my settings changed for movie making, which caused problems when actually trying to play a game on a slow machine.
Timstuff:
I think that the problem lies with version .95 of mame. I reformatted my HD and tested ver.95 it with Mortal Kombat 2. It ran pretty slow, and when when autoskip is turned on it basically becomes a slideshow. The audio is all messed of too, as would be expected. However, in ver.69 of mame, Mortal Kombat 2 is perfectly playable in both draw every frame mode and autoskip mode, and the audio all works fine. Well, Mame is after all, a "work in progress" piece of software. Hopefully in the next version they can adress this.
JCKnife:
If anything the next version will get slower, not faster. I'm not griping, it just tends to be the case.

Sounds like your problem lies in transferring your OS into a new system without reformatting / reinstalling.
Timstuff:
Well, it's already been reformatted. It sounds like what I need is some way make the newest version of Mame run at an acceptable speed. Many people said to me that 2GHz would be more than adiquet for running Mame at a good speed, so my best guess is that the newer versions are less compatable with Win98. I guess I'll eventually have to plunk down some extra cash for Windows XP if I want Mame to run nicely. I built this PC with the intention of putting it in a cab, so I guess I can't go cheap if I want it to be worth the investment.

IMHO anything written by Microsoft is not an "investment" but a loss. :)
