Games are lagging terribly.

Hey all, I'm relatively new to emulation and I'm not good at spotting whatever the possible problems are. My two Wii games (Monster Hunter and Xenoblades) all play at about 25 FPS, which I figured was decent. The only problem is that my characters move extremely slow when I play, or at least not near as fast as they should.

Any help would be appreciated. Here are my PC specs:

AMD Phenom II X4 940 Black Ed. 3.0GHz
4GB Ram
Radeon HD 4870 1GB

Set EFB to texture.

Still laggy. Down to 20 FPS now.

Phenom II @ 3.0Ghz is nowhere enough for the 2 games you mention
At least overclock it to 3.4Ghz

Seriously? A quad core at 3.0 isn't enough? Wow. Did not know that.

Because dolphin doesn't support quad core and 45nm CPU was outdated
