Can I get an evaluation on my setup?

Hello, I've been trying for a few days now to try and get the dolphin emulator to run reasonably well. The two games that I have are Paper Mario and Wind Waker, however, with both I can't get FPS higher than 15. I've been through many different guides on how to optimally configure the emulator for higher FPS but I can't seem to get any headway with it. This is my first post, is there any way I can attach my specs that I entered upon signup? I've read on some sources that most AMD processors have difficulties with dolphin, not sure if this is true or not. I also know that I have a medium end video card. When running I've checked my usage through task manager and dolphin never spikes and never appears to use more than 35% of my CPU.

Thanks,

I updated to Dolphin 4.0-4019 (64 bit) - and now I am getting solid 30 fps, so happy, must have been the 64 bit... thanks in advance for anyone reading this.
