My current setup:
AMD Phenom II X4 940(OC'ed to 3.7GHz)
4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 800
1TB SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 7200RPM HDD
ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB PCI Express Video Card
Windows 7 x 64 bit running Dolphin x64
Questions:
1. Should I be able to use decent enhancements with this setup?
Right now I can run New Super Mario Brothers at 3x native full speed but any AA or AF seems to slow it way down. I can run Super Mario Galaxy at about 2x resolution, 3x or any AA / AF slows it way down, does this sound right?
2. Will using water cooling and trying to stretch CPU to 3.8 or 3.9 help or would I need to update my GPU?
3. Kind of off the subject but in the interest of not starting additional topics, is Gamecube widescreen hack not working latest version? I cant get it working but I have seen youtube videos of people using it (have tried Super Mario Sunshine and Zelda so far)?
4. Should I be running a certain build of the emulator? I just went to the download page and got the most current but I keep seeing posts from ExtremeDude2 saying to download a better build, is there anything to that?
Thanks in advance.
