I am currently using an Intel Core i5-2410M and am wondering how big of a speed boost I would get if I upgraded to an Intel Core i7-2630QM? I understand Dolphin doesn't really support more than two cores, but any help is appreciated. My gpu is an AMD Radeon hd 6330M and I have 6gb of ram.
will an Intel Core i7-2630QM provide a significant speed boost?

No, there won't be a huge speed boost. It'll be very minor infact.
Which games are you having speed issues with? Quote:I understand Dolphin doesn't really support more than two coresIt does. If you use LLE, with LLE on Thread enabled, Dolphin will use three cores. 06-21-2012, 08:22 PM
As long as you keep it running cool and turbo boost work correctly :
i5 2410M @ 2.6GHz (2 cores active) i7 2630QM @ 2.8GHz (2 cores active) You can gain small speed up from dual core -> quad core and the i7 has more cache (6M vs 3M) Download "Realtemp" to check your current CPU clock speed when running dolphin . Turbo boost won't work if your CPU overheat Btw Quote:My gpu is an AMD Radeon hd 6330MThis GPU will bottleneck any CPU you pair it with . It's too weak even if you use lowest settings (1x Internal Resolution - 480p , no AA , 1x AF) Laptop: Mini PC :: 06-21-2012, 09:23 PM

how did you maintain a 30fps at Xenoblade??? im also using a acer laptop i5-2410m, Gt 540m 2GB by the way im using a NTSC (U) of xenoblade
and is it true that Windows 8 can improve gaming performance?? 06-22-2012, 12:09 AM
Enable "Vbeam"
