Not faulty pcs, its just that the newer mame/mess build toolkit mingw64 version has some nasty extremely-hard-to-track compiler bugs which are especially prevalent in the 32 bit version but don't affect the 64 bit version much if at all. They also, for some reason, cause much more problems on winxp than on win7 or vista, and I have no idea why...
