Trying to run Twilight Princess Wii.

Is my computer good enough? I've checked the thread and read like every single page. Didn't see anything on how to speed it up. I have a laptop, that's really a desktop replacement aha. It can run Skyrim, Crysis, hell, anything to be honest. But I can't seem to get a constant 30 fps on Twilight Princess Wii? I've played with a ton of settings and nothing seems to really be helping.

Is there something I'm missing?
I'm running the latest dolphin. 3.0-636
i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00GHz 2.00GHz
6.00 GB System ram
1.50 GB Vcard ram
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460m
Windows 7 64 bit

Should I be using a different version of Dolphin? Can someone help?
Thanks a lot!

Should I try and overclock it?
My laptop is a Asus G53sw.

I'm pretty sure it auto overclocks itself..

Dolphin uses 2 cores -> i7 turbo boost = 2.8Ghz
Use "RealTemp" to check your CPU clock speed when running dolphin
Also make sure your CPU not overheat when running dolphin or else turbo boost will be disabled

I pushed it a little with a lot of success. I can run Twilight Princess with a bunch of higher resolutions and stuff with 25+. c:

I used Realtemp to check my CPU while I was playing, and it only ever hits 2500ish mhz in game. And FPS drops from 30-26ish. So what isn't it running at full speed? It even says right under that it's only running at 30 something % full load.
