I see but i'm unloading any other program using cpu and memory except DosBOX. My cpu usage seems to be around %5 in task manager. Is there a way to fine-tune DosBOX rather than using VDMSound or boot-disk? For example I'm setting the DOS memory to 63 MB. Could decreasing this or changing another option help? Shall i change the soundblaster emulation options?[/b]
Increase the cycles until you reach 95-100% CPU usage.
That can make a huge difference.

Other then that,
Set the memory to 24, no point in going higher then that.
You might want to change the soundcard emulation to SBPRO2.
These won't make any difference to the sound problem (at least, I don't think they will), but are IMO the best settings here.

First of all i set the memory to 32 and then changed the sound card emulation to SBPRO2.
I ran the game in windowed mode while i checked the cpu usage from the task manager and i found out that even a little bit more than 6000 was too much for me (never thought this would happen) and decreased it to something around 5000. Perfect solution, no sound lag and games working much faster! k:

Thanks for the help fifth horseman...
