Out of curiosity, which specific roms are you having trouble with? I was just able to run tekken on my laptop (2.4ghz core 2 duo, xp 32-bit) with no issues.
And what type of processor do you have? Is it a pentium G620?

I have the exact same stutter issue with every single 3d game I play. It could be MK4, KI1 or 2, Tekken ... really anything that has 3D in it. I will get my processor info here during lunch.
I will also give a whirl at tuning the PC during lunch as well.

You're a long way from playing MK4. ;)
You have very high expectations only a screamer of a PC could almost meet.
I see an i5 2500k in your future.
My alienware laptop has an i7-2760QM (2.4Ghz, 3.5Ghz "turbo") and can run MK4, Blitz, Gauntlet Legends, & Ridge Racer at 100%.
There will always be games that are fully emulated, but won't play full speed until faster processors come out.
EDIT: After actually playing a few rounds of MK4 on my laptop, it doesn't really run at 100%, but hovers between 90-100%.
It's very playable with minor sound skips, but isn't 100%. This is with anti-virus running though.

I dont mind dishing out the coin on a good motherboard/cup combo, I've put so much into this project that it would be silly not to. I just want to make sure that I purchase wisely this time and get something that is going to last for me. I believe MK4 will be the most current game on my list as I have plans to build a more modern pedestal based machine to handle newer console games and other high end games.
So with that said .. I will look into i5 2500 K's, unless anyone has a better suggestions. They seem to be running around $300-$400 for motherboard/cpu/mem combos (Intel Chip w/Asus mobo), which really isnt that bad.

Before you build a machine for mk4 make sure you run it to see all the graphical problems with it. My machine runs it full speed but I won't put it in my playable list until the graphics are corrected because it affects the game play
