Will my old CPU run any games in Dolphin?

I'm curious if my CPU will actually run ANY game in Dolphin. I am very interested in titles such as Megaman 9, which in my mind wouldn't require much but I might be wrong. Here are my notebook specs:

CPU: Mobile AMD Sempron processor (3400+, 1.8 Ghz, 256KB L2 Cache)
512MB DDR RAM (probably a bit goes to video card
GPU: ATI Radeon Xpress 1100

Yes, it's a very old setup, any changes of running Megaman 9 (hey, at least it might fit into RAM) or any other title?

afaik you need at least 1GB of free(!) ram to run dolphin.
with your CPU you would be able to run games at about 10-20% of their normal speed anyway.
no need to upgrade. you will need a completely new computer.

Yea thats a bit on the weak side. Swapping parts im willing to bet, would be obsolete, you'll need a completely new computer to play any game sufficiently.

Edit: SSE2 support is also a factor to be questioned..
