1st gen Core I series @ 4.5GHz (Nehalem) is only as fast as 6th gen Core I series @ 3.0GHz (Skylake) in Dolphin
Core counts don't matter much since Dolphin is a dual core application
To run most Wii/GC games at full speed , I think you will need a skylake CPU @ 3.0->3.7GHz

Thanks for the response. That PC with those specs is my HTPC. I have another PC at my desk which has a AMD FX 8300 @ 3.3 ghz, 14 GB RAM, and an Nvidia GTX 260. I know my Desktop PC is more up to date hardware wise but do you think it would be a significant increase in performance compared to my HTCP set up? I am trying to weigh out if it's worth swapping the guts of both boxes. Thanks again
