Wind waker is a pretty lightweight game. You should be fine.

I would like to nitpick a bit now if I may:

That can't be done since you can't unlock the L3 cache as far as I know. The best you can do is unlock it to an athlon II X4.

kinkinkijkin Wrote:A 100% real sound processor (not CPU-run this time around)
A 100% real networking card (again, not CPU-run, no compatibility layer)

These do not matter to dolphin. Neither will reduce cpu usage at all. Network processing generally contributes almost no cpu usage to any applications even ones that heavily utilize a network. Audio processors can only hardware accelerate a limited number of advanced functions on certain APIs. Which very few applications use.

Neither of these are worth listing in your specs for most applications. Although I do appreciate you trying to be thorough.
