Hey im new to dolphin and Im pretty much of a noob when it comes to coding and compiling which i have no idea how to do.

I got
intel core 2 duo E6700 2.66ghz (2 cores ofc)
asus P5B Deluxe p965 Motherboard
DDR2 2GB RAM Kingston 332.5Mhz
Nvidia Geforce 9800GTX 1MB
Windows 7 32bit

pretty much average these days
now i Use Gamebooster to play and shut down the Explorer.exe and put dolphins affinity to "high"
i use dolphin 2.0
disabled sounds
disable fog
800x600 res
enabled Efb->cpu access
efb scalec copy
efb copy to texture
JIT Compiler

now i dont overclock my computer cuz i dont have a cooling system beside the default fans and i cant find OC For dummies manual on google so i dont wanna screw up my PC

I have 3 Games
super smash meleee
Zelda - WW
Zelda - TP

when i play SSB i get low fps (10-15)
Zelda - Wind Waker i get decent 20-30 fps (15-20 in open places)
and In Zelda TP i get 10-15 fps....

now i really wish to play zelda tp on good speed atleast 20-30
is there something i can do to increase fps or should i change any of my specs?

1. your specs seems to be fine

2. Stop using Dolphin 2.0 and download the
latest revision of dolphin at http://www.dolphin-emu.org

3. do not use opengl plugin instead use DX9 plugin for
better performance

I'd say his specs are straight too, so my only suggestion would be maybe he could overclock his CPU ? Also, does the speed of RAM affect Dolphins performance much ?? I have the same speed RAM as him, so I'm just wondering.
AMD X3 @ 3.0 GHz
Radeon 5750 1GB DDR5
2GB RAM 667MHz
Windows 7 32-bit

Yeah, his problem is his Dolphin version and settings related, not really a PC problem. Also, disable efb cpu access and enable sounds but disable audio throttle. Enable dual core if you didn't already.
Asus Laptop: K53TA
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-Bit - SP1
CPU: AMD Llano A6-3400M, Quad-Core, 1.4GHz-2.6GHz (Overclocked)
GPU: AMD Radeon HD6650M, 1GB GDDR3 (Catalyst 13.1)
RAM: Samsung 4GB DDR3-1333

Everyone have different computer specs , so my suggestion that you got to experiment with the settings until you get settings that works well with your computer
