lmfao NO. im surprised that that little difference made such a difference in running wind waker cause it went from running at 68 to 74 percent to running between 97 and 100... but one more question guys.. what shud i get processor wize wen i get my new one.. like what will run all the games.. like starfox assult. mario galaxy. zelda twilight princess all the big heavy games like what shud i get that will cover me entirely for all that. thanks for advice.. again u can read my stm specs i think all i need is processor or processor/mobo upgrade like the geraphics card is brand new and i love it! and by the way i do own a wi and a gamecube and all of these games.. i am just astounded at the graphics upscaling to HD 1080p and evrything its phenominal the games look worlds better and since i havnt played them in a while id like to replay them on dolphin with beter graphics and my ps3 controller wich is beter than a cube controler imp.. (by the way is there some way to hook up a real wii mote.. or is there a pc wiimote?!?!?!?!?)

Well do you have the money for a whole new system?

If not:
buy a phenom II 955, if you are using an am2/am2+ mobo then upgrade to an am3 mobo and ddr3 ram

If yes:
Wait a little while until it's available again and buy a P67 mobo + sandy bridge 2500k + 8GB ddr3 1600 Mhz ram

For wii games you can use a real wiimote with dolphin.

just curious do ir ealy need 8 gigs of ram????? that sounds a little excessive.. but then again i guess these emulators are hard to run.. just wondering cause my graphics card is a gtx 470 it can more than handle that end and i hav 4 gigs of dual sli nvidia high speed gaming ram.[/align]

and i know that for gaming for example.. say starcraft 2 the difference between 4 and 8 gigs rite now is basicaly nothing.. yes obv there is a difference but as far as gaming performance goes upgrading my ram for conventional PC titles would be pointless as i wouldnt realy see any change in performance

sooo is the ram realy important for the emulation?!?!? or were u just suggewsting some good system specs.. cause ive always built my own gaming pcs. my dad owns his own buisness. im not realy needing system advice i jsut want to know advice on best hardwarer for dolphin cause i dont know what the requirments are like for some of the heavy games.. but thank you i will look into that processor and thanks for your help man u seem to reply quik and to the point much apreciated!

No. But it's cheap so why not?

For pc games memory performance and capacity is usually irrelevant. Only a few rts games can even use enough ram to make having 4GB worth it. The advantage of having 8GB of ram is you can alt-tab out of/into anything almost instantly even with several heavy programs open at once.
