You should probably upgrade to a 3rd generation i5 or better for good Dolphin performance. The Phenom is a bad choice for emulating. This handy chart will show you clocked performance of different processors. The Phenom you have is on the same playing field as the Core 2 Duo, meaning that games will be playable, but have bad FPS and the audio will drive you to insanity. Go Intel
i keep hearing AMD is bad for emulating, but all i got is hand-me-downs right now and i dont think my motherboard supports intel cpu's. so even if i got my hands on one, i dont think it'd work.
