So i just downloaded Dolphin a few days ago and i have some more questions.
So what is fps and vps?
Do their values matter? If so my values when playing are fps ~10 and vps ~43. Is that good?
For speed my values are usually around 70-90%. Is there anyway to speed up my games?
Also is my computer strong enough to run dolphin at all?

Memory/Ram - 1GB

No, that pc is way too old for dolphin
If you want to get better speeds, you need a complete new pc with decent specs...

You just told us that you already tried some games and told us the fps and speed you got, so how can you ask if you're able to use Dolphin at all? According to you, you already did use it. And yes, many games will run very slowly.

FPS = frames per second, the number of images that the GPU writes to the backbuffer (screen space) per second, it is used to measure the speed of the emulated gpu
VPS = vertical interruptions per second, which refers to the refresh rate of the screen that is controlled by the gc/wii cpu (so it's completely virtual, it has nothing to do with your hardwares refresh rate), it is used to measure the speed of the emulated cpu
