A Phenom isnt the best of choices but when overclocked high enough can play a decent number of games at playable speeds, what games do you intend to play?

i was intending to play mostly gamecube games including: paper mario the thousand year door, lugis mansion, supermario sunshine.

Those are all non-demanding games. Expect full speed or close to it.

The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword is very demanding and will not run all too well. If you put the settings at 1xIR you may find it playable, but you will not get full speed. I am not sure about the Legend of Zelda collectors edition, but you could always just play the old Zelda games on other emulators if it doesnt run well (and of course BUY the games). It should run well though I just remember it having a 3 star compatability rating, correct me if I'm wrong.

Then if I were you I would download Dolphin 3.5, test out Zelda CE, and if you are happy with it and there are no glitches that annoy you (emulation isn't perfect), great. If you are not happy with it, download Project 64 1.6 and the latest JNES. Those should be able to play all of the games that Zelda CE has inside, and at full speed Smile
