Bottom line is this is user error.  You aren't setting the AMD system up correctly or something?!  Are you sure you are running it at the proper speed?   Do you have the multiplier set correctly?  How about the memory speed?   

I can tell you for 100% fact that BOTH system should play Mortal Kombat without issue considering my Athlon XP 1800+ that is running a measly 1.5ghz runs Mortal Kombat as fluid as it's going to get.

I ain't smokin' anything, but I admit to being a complete newbie on multicore.

First of all, this is straight out of the box on an Emachines Anthlon T5230.   

Does this chart make sense to you?   I heard this is the closest to MAME.

Could you help me with the multiplier set and where is the memory speeds?

I have a gig of ram, but other then that I don't have a clue.
genesim:
Man straight out of the box, the Pentium D is blowing the AMD away.

I don't understand this at all.   How the hell could MK slow down at all???

I do know MK is labor intesive and unless you are running an older version you do need at least 2gb to run it at full speed.
Malenko:
umm all the MKs run fine on my OLD P4 2.4 (MAME cab) no frame skip, fluid as a mofo.

What vid card are you using?  Also, I dont think MAME take advantage of the multiple cores (yet) though I could be wrong on that assumption.
