Hello..
Fist I want to thank all people who worked on Dolphin eumlatur,they did a great jobSmile
I think about buying a new CPU(Core2 e8400),cuz some one said that this CPU let me play at perfect speedBig Grin.But I dont want to rist any thing.
So I want to know if gamse like SSBM will 100% work at full speed with a good CPU.

The e8400 is a very good choice, or maybe a CPU from the ix series ? (i3 maybe?)

I have the e8400 and I'm getting very good speeds in most games, SSBM, Fzero, Mario Kart, even Metroid Prime are all very playable for me on 1680x1050 resolution.

It uses a different socket than your CPU, so you need to by a new motherboard, DDR2 memory, etc ...

I though that the Pentium 4 HT at 3.0 Ghz was for socket 775
MB : MSI Z68A-GD80
CPU : Intel Core i7 2600k @ 3.4 GHz (stock clock)
Gfx : ATI Raedon HD 6850
Ram : 4 GB DDR3-1333
OS : Windows XP x86

I speak Spanish Big Grin ( And a little English )

yeah, the e8400 is a real nice processor with good oc capabilities.
but it's time is over (775 is a dying socket), i think the perfect match at this time would be an i5 750 for price-performance ratio.
it should be easily oc-able to at least 3,8ghz, more than enough for dolphin.

btw: sorry for bad english (I'm german)

I didn't know it was socket775, then it's ok !

And also buy a good cooler and you can overclock the e8400 to at least 3,8ghz !

i have to add something:

yes, you could go and buy a e8400, it's socket 775, but don't think that you can get a good overclock, perhaps it won't even run at all at stock speeds.

the most important thing to know; What's the name of your MAINBOARD (because of chipset). use e.g. cpu-z

and then, if it's not compatible and you want to spent as few as possible, you could go for a phenom ii system.
cheaper than buying a i5+mobo+ram (which is by the way almost the same price as e8400+mobo+ram).
i have one myself, they're cheap and really fast, also good oc capabilities (Black Edition).

Above person raises a valid point.. Your mainboard (motherboard) info is also very important.

You can NOT put a core 2 duo processor on a board which previously had P4, even with bios update. It will fit into socket but will not boot. I have tried this multiple times on a low-end computer. It is absolutely impossible.

Remember, if you buy core 2 duo e8400 (which is a good chip for dolphin), you also need a motherboard which clearly says that it supports c2d processors. Any chipset that will boot pentium 4, is not compatible with newer processors like C2D.
