Hi all - I am trying to get myself a desptop computer that can act as a media player along with running dolphin as well as other emulators.
I know the media player and older emulator requirements are not that high but its trying to get dolphin to run well which is making things difficult.
What I have now is a core 2 quad Q9550 with 8 GB's of RAM and an HD5450 video card which serves well as the media player and emulator.
Would adding a newer/powerful video card to this computer run dolphin well ?
I also have the options of picking up the following computers:
#1 - ADM A8-7600 with 8 GB's of RAM for around $250
#2 - Intel i5-4460 with 12 GB's of RAM for around $325
Would these computers run dolphin well as is with onboard graphics or would I need to add a video card to them as well ?
And which would be the better computer with said video card ?
Thanks !
