Dolphin doesn't use all that much RAM. In reality, as long as you have enough, RAM doesn't factor into Dolphin's performance. The CPU, on the other hand, is responsible for a lot of Dolphin's performance. If you want to see an improvement in Dolphin, get a better CPU. Your current CPU, however, looks okay for a lot of games. I suggest that you try overclocking it first, if possible, to see if you can manage full-speed on Sonic Unleashed.

To be honest, people who don't know how computers work or how to Google for stuff shouldn't be using an emulator but just play the game on their Wii.

I think that im young and I can't play in the bios

And now I'm remember what that mean it's in the bios

And no thanx this is really dangerous to use this because your CPU may damage and you know i don't have money and my pc is new so I don't want to damage it

That's okay. Then there's just nothing you can do.

1. Never EVER say you can't do something because of your age. That is terrible excuse. Most of the dolphin devs were already programming at your age. Can you imagine what would have happened if they had said "I'm to young to learn these things"?

2. These are important skills to learn and not that hard to learn. If you screw up just reset the CMOS using the jumper or button.

3. If you're afraid to take risks you will never learn anything practical. That "don't touch that, you might break it" logic destroys intellectual progress in youth.
