I've tried everything i can think to do ... but i loaded up my Xenoblade Chronicles NTSC onto my mac book... everything looks great... but the fps is ridiculously slow once i get out into the open world... i have a macbook with mac osx snow leopard 10.6.8 and dolphin 3.0... would osx lion and a newer or newest version of dolphin and 4 GB RAM rather than my 2 GB RAM help this at all or is it really necessary to have a godlike computer for this thing? please help me ... i love this game ... easier on my eyes on my laptop...

Your processor is too slow for this game.

so there's nothing i can do?

You can try to overclock to get more speed or buy a new PC.

You're going to have to figure out the overclocking yourself and if it's safe/worth it for you to do that or not. You technically can use OSX, but Windows x64 will perform better. Either way, with your current setup, you may gain a little extra speed by overclocking but a faster processor is needed. Try some other games and see what speeds you get.

this may sound stupid but is it possible to change out a processor on a laptop? or if i got a macbook pro in the future like
2.2GHz quad-core
Intel Core i7
4GB 1333MHz
500GB 5400-rpm1
Intel HD Graphics 3000
AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 512MB GDDR

No, you can't change out laptop processors. Without knowing which i7 you're talking about, I'd say the game would run much better, but maybe not full speed.

just reading what's on the mac book pro 15- inch 2.2 GHz
