Hello everybody,

I am going to buy a new pc soon, and i was currious how much fps increase this will give me in dolphin

old pc:

windows xp 32-bit
AMD athlon 64 x2 4800+ 2,5 ghz
radeon HD4850

new pc:

windows 7 64-bit
intel i7-930 2,8 ghz

great, thats a very nice speedup! espacially if you consider i only can use copy to texture with my current pc, because copy to ram is way to slow. I was looking a bit around some shop websites, and i can change that i7 930 2,8 ghz to a i7 950 3,06 ghz for â‚¬ 25 more. Is this worth it? (not only for dolphin).

But you can overclock your i7 930 !
