Yeah stating your specifications and reviewing the minimum requirements always help, your hardware is likely not up to par to run the emulator.
Can you play any recent PC releases or releases that have been released within in the past 2 - 3 years? If not, you likely won't be able to run Dolphin.
If your PC doesn't meet the minimum specifications just to run the emulator, run doesn't necessarily mean with good speed then you might as well forget Dolphin as purchase a Wii/Gamecube if you don't already have one. The hardware that would be needed to run Dolphin adequately and at acceptable speeds would be for more expensive than just shelling out for the actual system and games.
