Finding my bottleneck...

Hi everyone. I was recently testing out the progress made with Wind Waker and am really impressed.

However, I noticed that something is bottlenecking my framerate. I usually get 16-21 FPS (average about 18), however it doesn't seem to be dependent on resolution, most settings, renderer, etc.

I started with the configuration at http://www.dolphin-emu.org/performance.html and got those speeds. I get the same framerate if the resolution is 640x480 or 1920x1200 (which looks great by the way). I get the same framerate if I change between direct3d9 and opengl renderers. I get the same framerate if I enable EFB Copy to Texture or RAM or if I enable/disable the framelimit or audio throttle.

I doubt my RAM is holding me back (see below) and since I see no change with resolution, can I rule out my graphics card as well? Any thoughts are appreciated.

My system is as follows:
1.8Ghz Dual-core Opteron 1210 (roughly equivalent to an Athlon64 X2 3800+ or 4000+)
4GB DDR2-667
ATI All-in-Wonder HD (basically a Radeon 3650)

I'm mildly considering upgrading a couple things right now. Any ideas what I is bottlenecking here?

Your CPU try to overclock it see if works faster
PC Specs:
Nvidia 8400 GS (256Mb) *Overclocked*
1GB of DDR2 RAM
AMD Athlon 64 3800+ 2.40Ghz (Singlecore)
Windows Vista Basic 32-bit

I think mainly your cpu but I don't think another videocard would hurt either... CPU will be the main bottleneck though I think (especially considering the fact that changing resolution and stuff doesn't seem to matter).

Upgrade your CPU to core 2 dou above 2.4G or Core i3,i5;Ram speed is important too (I got 5 FPS faster when upgrade 667-->800Hz),your video card is a lower-mid Dx10(class 2) but it should be fine.Finally,dolphin must run on windows 7 64bit(Dolphin 64bit have alot patch which 32bit doesn't have)
