Windows Home Server
I built a dedicated cab for trackball games. Centipede, Marble Madness, etc run 60fps no problem. However, Golden Tee '97 - Golden Tee Classic drop frames. They range from 45-60 fps and the cpu is constantly around 50%. These games run flawlessly on my 2.6ghz with XP. I've tried the latest MAME and also an old Pentium Pro build (105).
MAME ini (correct settings according to Ultimarc fro ArcadeVGA)

I don't think there's an issue with the ini. I'm thinking is Windows Home Server. I would like some opinions. Thanks.
