Fast PC, still Slow Mame32 Game Speed

Ok thanks Fozzy. :)
I did try NeoRageX before my initial reply since it appears the rev I tried didn't work well on XP, and assuming Vista as well.
Strange the developers of mame don't have some better way of handling this stuff on PC's. I would think the slooowness would make the ports to mame quite difficult. Ah the joys of emulation....
Need to do more research I think.
Thanks for the 3 pointers.

I don't have problems with run NeoGeo games (Athlon 2.4). NeoRageX is died.

You don't happen to have a LCD Topgun connected to your system ?
If so, this gun seems to slow down latest mame realeses considerabely and for some reason not pre 0.0xx releases. Having this gun connected also slows down some regular games including hotd3. I have even seen a video on YouTube where some dude plays hotd3 with this gun and the game seems very slow there also. I tried both the original driver and smogs driver ( the best) and both do the same. Speed and sound problems in mame.
If you have a Topgun connected, try unplugging it. You have to restart your system before you try mame again. Your computer should kick ass for most games but don't expect all of them to run at full speed ?
Anyone else having this problem with this lightgun ? I don't really think it is a driver problem, but some USB hardware issue. This is because a friend om mine have a serious boot delay if the lightgun is connected, and this is before any driver is loaded.

Actually this system is brand new, and no light guns are connected as of yet and still seeing the poor performance on a variety of mostly CHD games.

Try dropping back to MAME v106 before they implemented the new video system and see if it helps.
