You can either continue to use 4.0 or turn to unofficial builds such as DX9 Final. Since those builds in that thread are unsupported, and issues you have with them you'll have to ask Tino about it. However, is it necessary to use newer revisions of Dolphin? Is there a specific issue that newer builds solve that is broken in 4.0? If not, consider sticking to 4.0 for the time being (that is to say, until your next hardware upgrade) if nothing is wrong and your gaming speed is fine.
Alternatively, try the very latest builds (4.0-750 at this time of writing). There have been a lot of speed ups to Dolphin, and it might give you fullspeed whereas 4.0-468 doesn't. EDIT - Also note that 4.0-468 doesn't technically exist. Dolphin's master branch builds jump from 4.0-436 to 4.0-476.
Thanks. Sorry typo'd: meant build 4.0-648. I'll try the newest and see if it helps. I need to use these build 648 or 652 builds to sync with people on Project M Net-play apparently. I don't believe I'll be able to upgrade equipment anytime soon, my laptop since it came with a graphics card I believe is unable to be replaced/upgraded. I do have a desktop I could try buying a good graphics card for but its only got 2gigs of ram (which are slightly harder to find cheap than normal laptop ram) and I believe a subpar processor (i'll check to see what the stats are in a sec, it's a dell xps 420). http://www.amazon.com/Dell-XPS-420-Desktop/dp/B001B5KQAM
here's my desktop dell xps 420
