Hello Everyone!
I just joined the Forum and i want to know if my Notebook is any good for Dolphin.
I have an Acer Aspire E1-531
Processor: Intel Pentium Inside 2,2ghz
Graphics: Intel HD 2000 Sandy Bridge
RAM: 4GB
Version: 4.0
So, which configs do i need to change and would it be better if i use an older version?
Thanks!

Both your processor and graphics chip are really, really weak.
Dolphin needs a really good processor to run well.
So no, this won't work at all.

It's weak indeed.

@ChopperDoc: You can try older builds. They're faster that's right but don't expect too much. Also which games are you planning to play?

If you have a Pentium Dual-Core (are you expecting us to guess which Pentium do you have?), you shouldn´t experience such a poor speed. (Unless it´s on a portable device).

Just google his laptop model. This is his cpu: http://ark.intel.com/products/59836

And yes it is a mobile cpu. It's an ok cpu for dolphin. Not good but not terrible either. Lightweight games will run fine.

Isn´t that the Pentium Sandy Bridge?

And it also seems that you "agreed" with me in the part that he shouldn´t be getting poor performance...

I disagree . If he uses latest Dolphin , he will get poor performance in most games , even with lightweight game like Wind Waker
And Intel HD 2000 is crap (Recommend : Intel HD 4000 or better GPU)

I almost forgot how horrible the HD 2000 is. That could prevent him from hitting fullspeed in WW. Older builds are a lot less demanding on the GPU so depending on the game he might have to switch to older builds to obtain decent performance. Or he could upgrade to a laptop/desktop that isn't dirt cheap.....
