EDIT:
This may help as a nice guide to what clock speed may work for your CPU

- Phenom II X4 840 3,2Ghz (which is just a bumped up Athlon 640), Radeon HD 5770 1gb -> 30fps 75% of the time, 25-30fps 20%, 20-25 5% (also had to drop Internal resolution to 3x, no other setting has any effect on performance)
- Intel Core i5-2500k 3,3Ghz, Radeon HD 6870 1gb -> 30fps pretty much always, if it ever drops it's barely noticeable and very rare.
I sure regret not getting a i5-2500k half a year ago - sure, the Phenom was half the price, but the difference would've surely been worth it :|
edit: as for other Dolphin builds, I've tried the latest one, and also the two modified ones linked in the last few pages, and they all performed worse on the first computer setup.
