Hello, I have a pretty budget hand-me-down PC and Dolphin runs... well, it runs. I get on average 15-60fps, so it is not terrible, considering when I do run actual gamecube games I use to have and play through steam (Like Jedi Knight 2: Jedi outcast and Dredd vs Death) they run on max at >120fps (so never a frame skip ever) Running games with light or little rendering like most areas of Luigi's Mansion or inside houses in Wind Waker runs perfect without an issue. Now, I doubt I can pull too much more out of it and this is what I expected of it for performance, I just was wondering, seeing as I have Dolphin 4.0.2 x86 if I should have the x86/32bit or x64/64bit emulator. Not sure why the one I got was x86 in the first place, but I see both here in the stable versions for downloads. Is running a 64bit going to be better on my 64bit Windows 7 or would the 32bit be better for my slower dual core 2.5ghz processor? (I doubt my gpu has any issues to deal with it, it is a GTX 550 ti 1gb, it is a bit budget but runs virtually everything fine, just the processor and to a lesser degree the 4gb ddr2 ram are holding my system back) I'm sure if I could get the actual Dolphin OS gamecubes run on to run as a pure OS that gamecube games would run perfect, but this isn't an OS.
Anyway, just wondering if I should use 32 or 64 bit.
