Read thoroughly, my friend.
The System = Hardware inside that computer of yours.
Some parts that you need to know in order to upgrade:
Motherboard is like the heart of the system, where everything is connected to;
More memory = can speed up programs slightly and allows more programs to run without slowdowns;
CPU: the brain of the PC, the faster the CPU (or more cores) the more drastic speed-ups you'll see within programs and games
Don't fall in the trap of more Ghz = always more speed (speed in terms of gigahertz) a pentium dual-core @ 1 ghz could kill (in terms of speed) a pentium 4 @ 3 ghz, easily.
GPU: the modern and faster your GPU is, the faster games will run and also determines the way your games look.
Most laptops have onboard (intel) that isn't even classified as GPU, it often sucks RAM memory and is incredibly slow.
Hard Disc Drive: Stores data, and also determines speed of everything, depending on RPM (the greater, the faster it spins)
You see, you have 3000 megabytes of RAM (memory).
That's Perfect -
Most likely an on-board Intel card, not even a GPU.
That's below the recommended specs for Dolphin Wii emulating.
If you had a desktop PC, you could purchase a decent GPU for ~ 50 euro.
It isn't clear what your CPU is, if you have pentium dual-core, it is
Good , if you only have a single core computer, you have a problem.
Right now you could only play GameCube games without many problems.
Dude, if you want to play Wii, you're screwed (except for some games like New Super Mario and Muramasa)
And you're not a moron, remember that. Real morons think they know everything.
