i dont see any reason not to get an i5 2500k processor and overclocking it to 4.4ghz or more if your getting a new build.Cheaper processors will get you much less performance.Also if you still have problems you know pretty much kinks in the emulator that still need to be worked out
Currently playing through WW and I get full speed everywhere on my setup. Have yet to test TP and the slow Hyrule feild.
Although I agree with smackjack22 he might not have the money for such a setup. WW requires a powerful gpu to run at high resolutions but not a powerful cpu from what I've seen. TP requires an ok gpu and a good/great but not amazing cpu. A high clocked phenom II or core 2 is enough.
I play it fine on my laptop.

Will my specs run the game? If so, at how many FPS?
Computer Model: Toshiba Mini Notebook NB505-N508BL
OS: Windows 7 Starter (x86)
Processor/CPU: Intel® Atom™ Processor N455
Video Card/GPU: Intel
Memory/RAM: 1GB RAM
Not well at all. You'd be lucky to get 40% speed in some of the least demanding areas. The heavier areas would be 20% or lower.
I'm generally against using emulators on netbooks, they're not meant for that at all.

Your GPU is crap
I've got a netbook with the Intel Atom N455 too and Dolphin don't even want to load a game. (Pixel Shader error)

Actually, I knew more than a handful of people that did use netbooks specifically for emulators, albeit, nothing more than SNES/Genesis era games. Some of them did PS1 and N64 if and when possible. Given their small size and price, it does make for a handy, portable emu-machine, but that was in the netbook heyday. Most of them use tablets now.
Yeah, ofcourse, no problem with lesser emulators like zsnes or project64
just no for dolphin and pcsx2 or any other cpu intensive heavy emulator
