| Mame running slow on above requirement computer |
| (1/1) |

ok I'm making a mame cabniet and having troubles with my computer. its a 2.8Ghz prosessor with onboard graphics and 512 ram and i just installed xp on it last night and when i tryed to play the lastest mame even pacman was running at about 80%. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING SOMEBODY HELP PLEASE =( I narrowed it down to a few choices that could be the problem, can you guy use your expertese to help me? - The onboard graphics card uses to much prosessor power and slows it? - Lack of sp2 makes it slow? - Drivers need updating? - Some unknown setting in mame makes it use to much cycles? Can you please help because I don't want to but a new video card if its not the problem. |

I just tried Pacman on Mame .120 on a 3.2 Ghz P4 that has onboard video and it ran 100% no problem. Have you monkeyed with the mame.ini file any? Is your computer running slowly with other apps? Why don't you try a pre-video-rewrite version of Mame and see what you get? Say Mame version .105 or less. |

also if your onboard is 64mb it takes 64MB away from your ram when onboard is used |
