In our house we really use nothing other than Apple computers.
These are the 2 systems I have run Dolphin on
iMac 27"
OSX 10.7.3
Intel i7 2.8Ghz Quad Core
ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB
1TB 5400 RPM HDD
8GB RAM
Dolphin 3.0-371
MacBook Pro 17"
OSX 10.7.3 / Windows 7 Ultimate SP1
Intel i7 2.4Ghz Quad Core
ATI Radeon HD 6770M 1GB
750GB 5400 RPM HDD
4GB RAM
Dolphin 3.0-371
Obviously the video card in the second system is newer and has double the memory of the first system. Processor is slower but I believe its a newer version of the i7 itself.
My test game was Mario Kart: Double Dash.
I first ran this on the iMac under OSX. I get around 16 - 25 FPS if I remember correctly. The Super Drive is currently not working so I cannot easily get Windows installed on a Boot Camp partition to test under Windows.
I did the same thing on the MacBook Pro. I first ran under Mac OS and had fairly decent results. I then ran the same game booted into Windows and MK
D seemed to run like it would if I was actually playing it on the GC or Wii.
So my question is this. Is it normal to see better results with the Windows release of Dolphin compared to the Mac OS version of Dolphin when running on the same exact machine?
