THE DOLPHIN EMULATOR ON MY CPU IS SLOW IT RUNS ON FPS OF 7AND8
IN SUPER SMASH BROS MELEE FPS 20 THIS IS NOT COOL Angry

I NEED HELP
ON MAKING IT FULL SPEED MY SPECS ARE INTEL PENTIUM 4 CPU 3.20GHZ
3GBRAM(2.75 USEABLE) NVIDIA GEFORCE 7050 250MB IT WOULD BE GOOD IF I HAD HELP Smile

Your CPU is too slow. :/
You can try using the D3D9 Graphics plugin with the "EFB Copy to Texture" option, for a slight speed boost.
But you still won't get decent speeds in any GC/Wii games.

Unless you upgrade your pc ,no way you can run fullspeed on that rig
Pentium 4 3.2ghz (single core) = Dualcore 1.6Ghz << the low-end CPU is dualcore 2.4Ghz
Buy a cheap dualcore Intel 2.6Ghz (56$) you can play it fullspeed

yea... thats not how that works..
why does everyone think clockspeed x cores = actual clockspeed?

This is the most low end card of the (very old) GeForce 7 series.

I think thats actually more bottleneck that that CPU.

I've heard of P4's being overclocked and running some games but it's still a pretty poor machine...and that graphics card is really no good.

Haha yeah. I got a Pentium 4 3Ghz w/HT and a Geforce 8400 GS (overclocked) and the best speed I can get is around 30-50 FPS on most games and 60 for Wii Menu and Pikmin with OpenCL checked. Pentium D's just wont cut it either. Like me, it's time to upgrade to at least a Core 2 Duo 2.4Ghz, or a Pentium Dual Core (NOT the same as a Pentium D)

Got to get a new motherboard (cheap). Any ideas? I was thinking this one: Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L.

When it comes to motherboards you should really always try to buy a least a mid-top tier board because in a few years you'll have this same problem.

Instead of buying an entirely new system just buy a nice board so you don't have to continuously do so every 3-4 years.

I learned that lesson the hard way. I bought a cheap motherboard with this computer and the motherboard wont let my CPU opperate at over 3ghz. I even bought an after market fan/heatsink (which was a pain to installs) so that I could overclock it. I've heard of people easily getting another 20% with this CPU on other motherboards. It's really disappointing.
