upgrading my computer

[roytheone]

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
nvidia gtx 460

So will this new pc give me considerable speedups in dolphin?
thanx in advance!
(oh and please note that i am NOT bying this pc only for dolphin!)

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 € 25 more. Is this worth it? (not only for dolphin).

yeah it is !
But you can overclock your i7 930 !

The difference will be night and day.
