[Chaoscode]

depends on what you have for a video card

If you want to utilize 4GB of memory you're going to need a 64-bit OS, just so you know. Post your video card (or better yet your whole specs) and we'll see.

Main part for Dolphin is CPU. Faster = better

[DragonSlayer]

2 gb ram
Ati radeon HD 3850
Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz
windows vista ultimate 32 bit
i think every thing is good except my ram

you dont need more then 2GB ram

btw overclock your cpu to 3.5 ghz, i did that.

[boogerlad]

you have no bottleneck. Just overclock you cpu. Pm me for how or visit http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums to learn. Dolphin doesn't use more than 500mb of ram.

my heatsink sucks

[nosound97]

No, I think it uses near 1 GB, because of "Failed to grab 1 GB of contignuos memory" or something like this, I could be mistaken.

so there is really no point in upgrading memory

if dolphin only use 1 gb of ram
