Just a question: dolphin would benefit (and how much) from a change from a cpu coreduo 3.00 ghz (E8400) to a cpu with the same clock but with 4 cores? (Q9650)?
Thanks

Not really. You could use 3 cores by enabling LLE on thread, but it wouldn't help much anyway since the Q9650 is getting old and its per-core performance cannot compete with the recent Core i5/i7 series.
You should wait till the next CPU generation is out.

5-10% at the most, if you're lucky. Dolphin only uses two cores unless LLE on thread is used, and even that might not improve performance.
