I could push my Clarkdale further but I see no need when GL and blitz runs smooth @4.2ghz (cruise control) with room to spare.  I am guessing that a sandy bridge i5@4.2ghz would eat my clarkdale for breakfast.

Can someone please remind me why C2Ds are so highly regarded for running mame?

Well, they were so highly regarded for running MAME cause they were doing what your now doing about 4 years ago. My Core2Duo E8500 @ 4.27Ghz runs blitz without a hitch (room to spare), and even a more challenging game San Francisco Rush, with very few hiccups (while fraps is recording), I posted a video in this thread a few years ago (September 2008 I believe). I had my E8500 clocked at 4.5GHz for the first year I had it, then I decided to clock it down slightly (to 4.27GHz) and use more comfortable almost stock voltage, cause I knew it was a great CPU and I wanted it to last many years.  .

Here's a refresher, this video is over 3 years old now...

Nicely done.  I am going to dig for that rom and try to run it tonight at my current settings.  Did you figure out a way to permanently solve the sound issue or are you still having to do your work-around?

This is a rig I've been using for a lot of my Cabs but I've never tested with Blitz/Gauntleg so I'll try to test with those this weekend and report on what my performance levels are.

gauntleg = 1.6
gauntleg12 = 1.2

You can also confirm the version on the title screen (or is it the credits?). It's listed in the bottom left corner of the screen.

Out of curiosity, what is gauntdl and is it the same as gauntleg?  If not, how is it different?
