I'm currently running an E2160 @ 2.5GHz, with a passive-cooled 9600GT. My OS is 32bit win7. My motherboard supports up to a Wolfdale dual core cpu, and I was thinking about getting the lowest end Wolfdale (E5300) and overclocking it. Newegg has the E5300 for just $66 shipped, but it's only got 2MB of L2 cache.
From what I've read Dolphin is mostly CPU-bound. Is likely still true in my case? Also how dependent on cache is the emulator? Is it worth it to go to the 3 or 6MB cache?
