Zelda WW should work fine, you'll get lags on SMG, don't know about DKC though Undecided

Your CPU will be too weak for the most demanding games (and if you use LLE) but a lot of games will work fine

Oh ok , what I forgot to ask , does Dolphin use Hyper Threading ? Huh

Nope. Dolphin is a dual core application. It can use three cores with LLE on thread.

Pretty sure using LLE is a moot point now that HLE is pretty much fixed.

Except that its not. It's only fixed for AX. So not for SMG or MKDD or anygame that uses zelda ucode.

This. And some games still work better with LLE than with HLE
