Minimum CPU for big games in MAME

I have read a bunch of projects from people using higher powered PCs to get good frame rates in some of the bigger games like Mortal Komat series and STUN Runner. My main home PC is a T-bird 900 and it does fine with those games. However the little engine that could in my C2M cabinet is only a PII 450, and it doesn't do a good job with those games.

I know anything above 900 will be able to handle that, but what's the slowest CPU I could go with and still have a playable version of MK 2 for example? I was thinking a Duron 800, is that sufficient, can I go with something even cheaper?

I am currently running the 686 version of mame in DOS.
