Oh yeah, I'm running XP Home. So I'll stick with that ... I hear horror stories about Vista  :o

Enjoy :)
TheShanMan:
Maybe that would work with an OLD build of mame, but certainly not recent builds. I don't even think you'll be able to do the early games well.

The funny thing is, I heard those horror stories as well and it made me VERY reluctant to move to Windows Vista from Windows XP.  It's just that with my new Core2Duo CPU in my laptop (Penryn 2.5 GHz CPU) I wanted a 64-bit OS.  Well, I was kind of limited on my OS choices so I had to go with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit.  Guess how many of those horror stories have been true?  None.  Vista has been surprisingly stable and I have actually learned to really love it.  Plus, the 64-bit version of MAME is awesome!   ;D

You mean mame 64 is somehow better than mame 32? Can you describe how?

20%+ average gain in preformace accross the board, with only a couple of games dropping in preformance due to 32bit optimisation that don't work in 64bit builds.
