Hi all! I'm looking at a desktop on Craigslist that I'm thinking about buying, but I'd like to know how it would fare with Dolphin. Asking price is $345. Specs are:
Processor: Intel 2nd Gen Core i5 i5-2400 / 3.1 GHz
Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GT 520
Memory: 8.0 GB
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Edition
This is an HP Pavilion HPE, so it wasn't custom built so the RAM and MOBO are probably generic.
I'm looking to play Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, Super Paper Mario, Luigi's Mansion, Pikmin, and probably the Resident Evil games for GC. And I would be fine with 720p over 1080. I just want a crisp picture (PAL Twilight Princess on Wii is so blurry I can barely stand it). I'm mostly concerned about the i5-2400 as it seems that 2500k is the recommended version. What do you guys think? Would this work for me?
