super mario galaxy too slow

[banoonoo5]

should i be running it abit faster?
please tell me whats the problem
my specs are:

Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit

Processor/CPU: Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor Q9400
(6M Cache, 2.66 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB)

Video Card/GPU: GIGABYTE GTS 250
Memory/RAM: 4GB

Dolphin Revision: 3.0-638 32-bit

Obviously, it's CPU bottleneck
Dolphin uses 2 cores and 2.6Ghz Core 2 duo /2 Quad won't cut it
Overclocking will help but you need decent cooling for it

Super Mario Galaxy is one of the most demanding games - With LLE, it needs an overclocked Core i5-2500k/3750k.

[banoonoo5]

will it work good on a i7-2600k cpu?

[DefenderX]

yeah, of course. But Dolphin won't benefit from HyperThreading so the i5-2500k/3750k is the better choice (and much cheaper)
