New guy help please

[joesGC]

I know you get this a lot, but I don't know shit about computers, or weather I even have a fast computer or not.

I can get dolphin running Call of Duty Finest hour at 100% during intro and about 20-30% when the game play starts.

about the same for Mario kart double dash, a little faster about 45% in gameplay.

Is my computer even powerful enough for this or am I wasting my time.?

TOSHIBA
Satellite P745
Intel Core i5-2410M CPU @ 2.3Ghz
6.0GB RAM
64bit op system
Intel HD graphics family 1648mb (i think)

Let me know what I can/need to do to optimize this, I have read the forums and it sounds like people with much older systems have run this emulator so I think I should be able to pull it off.

thanks


I am not a computer guy, so please dumb it down a bit otherwise I have no clue what your talking about.

Your CPU is ok but Intel HD 3000 is not even with lowest setting (Direct3d9 , Internal Res : 1x , Anisotropic filter : 1x , AA : none)
A dedicated GPU is needed for gaming (Nvidia , Ati)
