Hope the guy wont change his Proc for Dolphin only , lol !
xD! Yes... i don't want it just for dolphin xD!!
Here i used that program:
Not sure why everyone is saying its clocked high, it's 3.2GHZ +10.4 MHz... or the 3.2GHz you said it was. You've got ok ram speed, DDR2-667 I would guess, but the processor itself is a bit dated when you consider that the combined processing power of a gamecube (with the audio and graphics processor) would be on par with at least one core of your processor (a lot of it gets offloaded to the video card, but best case for emulation is usually about 1/4th potential processing speed, less doing powerpc on intel).
Without changing your CPU, the most I could say would boost your speed anything is using a 64 bit OS, with a 64 bit Dolphin. The boost would be small, as 64 bit isn't as well optimized as it could potentially be (but this could change in the future). Pentium D's support 64 bit, so it's another little thing that can be done.
Core2 Q6600 @3GHz, 8Gig DDR2-800, Nvidia 9800GTX@700MHz, PCI Express 2.0, Vista Ulti x64, and more HDD then I can count
