I know my computer isn't good enough. Running windwaker isn't horrible (unless I'm around heat in game) but it's still slow. And after about 10 minutes of play, it crashes. I assume both issues are my PC and not the emulator. Now, I've been doing research for about a year, and in that time, I have read so much contradictory info that I'm completely confused. What I want to know is what makes my computer not good enough? Some people say it's my RAM. According to wiki, you only need 256 MB. My 4 GB should be fine. Some people say it's my cpu and others say it's the integrated graphics. Dolphin is not far from running perfectly, already. That's why I'm confused about people saying I need some high $ rig when my $300 rig is so close! So can I beef mine up with some RAM or some kind of external graphics card (does that exist?) for better performance or do I HAVE to get a different PC? And If so, why does wiki say Dolphin requires a GFX: Radeon 9500+ series card when the crappy integrated graphics card I have, isn't far off. What is the REAL minimum I can get in a laptop and still get decent gameplay?
