I don't wanna change my motherboard. If i put an AMD X4 3Ghz, do you think dolphin will run speed enough ?
Get the Phenom 2 x4 960t.
It will speed you up a bit.

Or save up for an i5 2500k.

Or a Pentium:

Any one of these will be better, but I recommend the Pentium.

In that benchmark, it's just as fast as an AMD six-core, with VASTLY superior Dual-threading, which is what matters to dolphin.
And Starcraft is VERY CPU intensive.
You could always get the Pentium and save up for the 2500k for later. Or not.>.<
I have the i5 2300.
Love it to death. It is also $50 cheaper than the 2500k.
