Yes......I thought we already established that.

Yep, but make sure, that your notebooks stays cool. When it overheats, the CPU will throttle the clock speed.

-> huge slowdowns

Super Mario Galaxy 1+2 with LLE, The Last Story etc. won't be really playable. Those games need a high end overclocked Intel desktop CPU (e.g. the Core i5-3570k)

I only really want to play Xenoblade Chronicles. I would like to play it at 1080p with the texture mods. I can deal with occasional slowdown. I just can't stomach the ugly graphics on the Wii.

You'll get a good performance with Xenoblade if you DO NOT use LLE. Use preferably the patched version for HLE

Thank you guys very much, really appreciate it! I just need better graphics than what the Wii offers...this game is horrendously ugly without enhancements.

So I tried dumping my Xenoblade Wii disc using rawdump, but I kept getting corrupt drive errors. So I think today I'll stop by Best Buy and pick up and SD card and do it that way.

I believe the .iso file for Xenoblade is around 7.8 GB...would an 8gb SD card be enough, or should I go higher? I know sometimes when they 8gb of space, it's a little less. Dumping the disc using rawdump unfortunately doesn't seem to be an option for me (played around with the timing of closing my disc drive and clicking for an hour to no avail).

Better go for a SD-Card or USB-Stick with more capacity.
