FPS low!!

Hi there people im new in dolphin emulator and i wanted to ask WTF is happening in my computer or it run correctly in it.
I have a AMD Quad Core 9650, with 2GB RAM, and a Geforce 8600 GTS 1GB Ram.
I've already finished the configurations on the emu but when i ran Zelda TP in the little village the FPS goes down to 18-23.
And my doubt was about if it is my CPU, the 2.0 Dolphin or the config.
the configuration was:
800*600 WM
800*600 FS
Antialiasing 9xQSAA
Enable EFB Copy to texture
All with Direct3d9.
Also i can't open on fullscreen when i do so it crash...
I hope someone could help me...

sorry if i posted twice i just dont know where it goes

it's still a weak pc in terms of dolphin emulation. what is the clockspeed? 2.8ghz? Overclocking it might help. I run it fine @ 3ghz with phenom ii x4. Id say your best bet is to sell your 9650 and buy a phenom II x4 955, 965 or the new x6 1090t. You will not need a new motherboard just switch cpus and you are done. I hear these 9650 gen had problems with getting to 3ghz so i'd say bite the bullet and get the latest amd.

@minty you didn't notice did you? he's got an 8600GTS and he's put AA on 9X that's crazy. take it down to 2.25 or maybe just put it to none
and no need for 2 threads

... gotta agree with Quatro the AA is way to high for those system specs and twilight princess, as far as i know, has not yet been able to maintain decent fps without a VERY powerful computer mind you my computer wouldn't play it much better then again i don't possess a rip of the game so i won't be able to find out

Try a new revision from here: http://www.dolphin-emu.org/ and yes, decrease your AA settings!

The 9650 is either 2.4GHz or 2.3GHz if I recall. Also first generation phenoms have up to 30% lower performance per clock compared to second generation phenoms. And to add to that 9xSSAA is way to much just like everyone else said.
