A slow CPU;  mame is very CPU dependent.  This is the cause, unless it's a game-refresh-rate-not-matching-your-LCD's stutter.  Which is why we're asking what games you're playing.

Video cards don't matter as much as CPUs for mame.  Sure the video card is directX 7, and mame can use directX 9, but not for emulating the games.  If you don't use the overlay/underlay/bezel stuff, I think your card is fine. 


So for us to be of more help, what games are running slow and what games are stuttering (if they're different)?

RayB:
It's spelled "stutter".

Yeah.  Studdering is what I do when I walk down the street. 

numbnutz48:
The couple games that i've noticed it on are

Sheffleshot
WWF Wrestlemania
World Class Bowling
Ring Rage
Primal Rage
Michael Jacksons Moonwalker
Cyberbots
Bubble Bobble 2 & 3

There may be a couple more, but i haven't gone through the entire list. In fact, i think Donkey Kong even did it too?

If i just have the plain games screen on for MAME i can fly through the list of games, however when i run my frontend (Maximus) it's super slow!

Part of the problem with DK was when they went from using a few samples to emulating all the sound hardware...several versions afterwards, even my new laptop (from last summer) couldn't emulate it at 100%, and it does most games without any problem.
