Question 
hi, iv had dolphin a while now and more often than not i got persistent errors.
i used the original 2.0 version for a while, there were plenty games i couldnt run but that didnt really bother me too much at the time,also often the video would not run properly but again, not a major error.
my main problem is that a good few of the games run too slow to play.
an example is starwars jedi knight 2 which runs so slow i can dodge most of the bolts fired at me.
on average for these games i get about 60% speed which is seriously noticeable.
i have looked through these threads and googled the problem but i havent really found much.
the main 2 things iv seen is 1, the game dosent work properly, but for star wars at least thats not the case because iv seen people say it works fine for them.
or 2 that the computer wasnt good enough to run it but i think my computer should manage it.
my specs are:

vista premium o.s(6.0)
AMD Phenom™8750 triple-core processor 2.40ghz
memory(ram)4.00gb
64bit o.s
according to my computer my computer i have 5779mb of ram available at this time,i doubt dolphin could be using all of that
my graphics card is nvidia geforce gt 120,its aproximate memory is 2797mb
iv tried disabling frame rate and duel processors but that has made absolutely no difference apart from one game which refused to start with dual core enabled.
any help would be seriously apreciatedUndecided

oh i forgot to mention i downloaded the newest version of dolphin i could find on the site, i found a lot more games work but it still runs slow
If you work on a lobster boat, sneaking up behind people and pinching them is probably a joke that gets old real fast.

your CPU is not good for dolphin, not every game will run good on your pc.... OC your cpu or buy faster one 3+ ghz (quadcore has no effect on dolphin, it uses 2 cores)
AMD FX-6300 @ 4,4 GHZ, 1,35v (watercooled) : http://www.myimg.de/?img=cpu3eb3c.jpg
Geforce GTX 750Ti - 4g

That's because Luigi's Mansion is a easy to emulate game.
Runs like 50FPS on mine !
