hi guys,

i have two pcs with different specs, so could you please tell me which one will be ideal for dolphin:-

1st PC -
CPU: Intel C2D E6300 @ 1.86Ghz ( although i can o/c it if necessary)
GFX: Nvidia 8800GTS
RAM: 3Gb

2nd PC -
CPU: Amd Athlon Dual Core 4850e 2.5Ghz ( although i can o/c it if necessary)
GFX: ATI Radeon HD 3200
RAM: 2Gb

Also which wiimote is okay for usage? official or clone? if clone, is there a certain brand/model?

Oh and lastly can you guys recommend a couple of games i could try out to test if my computer's power and whether the PC can handle them...FYI, i did try out New Super Mario Bros and didn't have any slowdowns with that.

Hey

..

NSMB is almost one of the games that aren't that demanding, like Murasa etc.

But you get a good indication of which PC runs best if you try for example Super Mario Galaxy (and even better would be if you make it through the tutorial level) so that you could always start @ the observatory which is Ultra demanding!!

Thanks very much g60force mate. I've just tried SMG on my intel pc and you were right, the game is running at 8-10fps and dolphin has crashed Sad

I don't know if it'll run any better on the other pc, especially when you were saying it might be even slower due to it being an AMD?
