Have you had Task manager open whilst trying run it, just to see what
'other' processes might be running high at the time your trying mame?

I have scoured the web for anything I can find to help me getting MAME
running. I am hoping you wonderful people could offer some advice.

I am running a celeron 2.6 ghz cpu w/ 1 gig of ram

I have tried several different versions of mame (.99 through .125, and
even fastmame .98)

The biggest problem I am having is with sound choppiness/echo

Games like golden tee and mk are not running at a steady 100%

even games like galaga have a few sound hiccups here and there.

your help is greatly appreciated.. thank you.

Well, much of what you said matches my own opinions on the matter - I'm 40 this year and started with collecting, even built a 20' by 30' shop with a garage door and outlets at eye level all around the room but then after having to lose my games, and moving to a situation where I could not afford to buy or keep more, turned to MAME to get my classic gaming fixes. ...
