Hey guys i have a couple questions about my computer.
I had a thread before but i felt like making a new one (lol)

Right now if i were to play a game like for example...Pokemon rumble, it would only play at about 30% to 50% with frameskip set to 2.

i would totally like to get these things better though since i love my computer alot and i really don want to get another one...

Here are my specs and i use Nvidia Geforce 8400 GS with 512 MB ram

what i am asking for is some tips on what to do to make the game run faster and some decent hardware that i should buy to help.

i heard that i might need another processor(CPU right?) if thats the case then what are some good but cheap ones that i should budget for?

if anymore info is needed(i hope not) then let me know and i will post ASAP

i really want to play games but i dont think i can get alot of money for a real console(looking for a job)

EDIT: links would be nice

You need a new cpu and graphics card at the minimum. If you want to run heavier games well you'll also need a new motherboard, power supply (since you're probably using a brand name system), and DDR3 ram.

How much are you willing to spend?

If you don't want the potential enhancements Dolphin offers, an actual Wii will be cheaper than the necessary CPU, GPU, and RAM upgrades.
