Hi. I have a question. Can I play flawless and with a perferc speed with this PC?
-Pentium Dual Core D 920, 2.8GHz
-2GB de RAM
-Windows Vista Home Basic

I need a new Graphic Card because what I have is too old (intel 945g).
Which one, with a low price and compatible with dolphin, do you recommend me?

Thanks a lot.

I don't know if that onboard 945g would be able to do PS 2.0 properly. Get ANY video card made within the last 4 years and it'll be better than what you have. Definitely won't be flawless, constant 60fps with that CPU. Not with most games at least.

I have Core i7 with HD4850

most games run fine, but even on that system, there are slow games
and hickups on some other games.

mind you I play at 1920x1080

All of those videos are using current-gen CPU's. (Core 2 Duo, AMD Phenom, etc.)

Lets put it this way. You can run it, but it won't be at 60fps. On my other computer with a Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 2.4GHz, 2GB DDR2 800, and a Radeon X1950XT 256MB GDDR3, New Super Mario Bros. barely gets 60fps, sometimes dipping down to ~55fps ingame, and will only play the intro at 30fps. This is running at 1280x720 with no AA or AF.

The minimum you should aim for is a 8400GS. I found this deal on another forum. This guy on ebay is selling new 8400GS cards for $13-$15 with free shipping.

I am using the Intel Q6600 (no overclock), and ATI HD2600, 8G DDR2 800 memory.

I can run the New Super Mario Bros, but a little bit slow. I can only play it on 640 x 480 (slow motion). What graphic card I should buy? I don't think it is worth it to buy the graphic card that is over 100 dollars, because I can just buy a wii to play it for that matter.

Is the GeForce 8400 let me play the super mario bros with at least 30fps? (at any resolution)

I am running Windows 7 64bit by the way.

Thanks.

Your specs look fine. The HD2600 is more powerful than the 8400GS. I suspect you are using the wrong settings. Are you using the Dx9 plugin with "disable fog" and "EFB Copy - To Texture" checked?
