Yes it will do fine.

Not really, other than that HDD have faster read speeds so loading times may be faster if the .iso is on a HDD instead of booting from a backup DVD.

IDK where i heard this, but if you disable hyper threading you make dolphin use 2 real cores, instead of the virtual core,

what?

By the way, you cannot boot from the original game disk anyways. And if you rip the game from the disk, there's not much point in burning it onto a new disk after that... you can just as well use the image from your hard disk.

in other forum searching something, a guy said if HT is enabled, dolphin will use only one real core, instead of the actual two

You can use programs like process lasso to always give dolphin high CPU and I/O priority and to prevent it from using logical HT cores.

Ugh........more posts with a giant "I don't know how HT works" sign.

None of these make any sense. There is no such thing as an "HT core". And you can't "use a real core instead of a virtual core". With HT off you have one hardware thread/virtual core for each physical core and with HT on you have two hardware threads/virtual cores for each physical core.

I explained this awhile back, post #101: http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/showthread.php?tid=20573&pid=196916
