That really sums it up. Or is there much of a difference? It's seems there might be, since it's in the title of a lot of isos.

I want to get like a GeForce GTS 450, but I can't right now. Pity, too, cause I saw one on sale for $100 at TigerDirect, when they are usually $129. So, for now, I'm stuck with a GeForce 210. So performance is a real issue, right now. And also stability.

Thanks.

Seems to suggest dolphin developers mostly live in the Netherlands, so they use PAL more, because that's what discs are available there. Is that true?

Says PAL is better in performance, cause 50 fps instead of 60.

NTSC games run at either 30 fps or 60 fps as fullspeed.

PAL games run at either 25 fps or 50 fps as fullspeed.

A lower framerate is easier to achieve therefore you will get slightly better performance with pal if you're using weak hardware. However if your hardware is powerful enough to run the ntsc version at fullspeed you'll get a better framerate, which will give you smoother more fluid motion/gameplay.

PAL games may also have multilanguage options for countries where english is not the primary language.

Dolphin has a pal60 option which allows you to run pal wii games with 60 fps as fullspeed instead of 50.

That's literally everything you need to know about the differences. They're nearly identical.

Cool. Thanks NV. I will get a better vid card one of these days. For some reason I thought it'd be cool to cheap out on that, when I built my latest PC. But that's all I need. I got 2 SSDs in Raid0 and an AMD Phenom II 970 x4. Like that other guy said, a computer is only as strong as it's weakest component.
