Used to be no effect, but Mame is now using the video card, but mostly for non-emulating stuff like resizing to the PC screen's resolution and artwork. 

Your TNT2 Vanta card probably is causing some slow down if you are using mame's default settings, but we'd need more specs to be sure.  The two mame settings you might want to try changing to see if it's the video card is change the resolution to lower numbers, and use directdraw instead of direct3d.  See, umm, here and here for detailed info on this, or post your specs and you'll give you more specific help.

Thanks guys, I changed to ddraw and now most things are tickety boo. Toobin, King of Fighters, MK, Samauri Showdown etc are all at full speed. Still having trouble with donkey Kong now that the sound isnt sampled so I may just drop down to an old rev of mame.

Thanks for your time.
