I just want the game to work equal to the console Wink I don't try to run AA or Anistropic filtering, I set these to off. That established...

On an i7 laptop... going back and forth between Intel Integrated Sandy Bridge and ATI 6770M I honestly don't feel the GPU is _that significant_. I am going to find out shortly, as I'm trading for a system with faster CPU but slower GPU to do side-by-side Wink

I suck choosing but ATHLON ii X3 450 3.2 GHZ Can be better than phenom?..

These are pretty weak processors, Dolphin really is CPU intensive.

http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Athlon+II+X3+450

The Intel Core i5-2500K @ 3.30GHz is FAR outperforming.... That Intel CPU has been selling for as low as $180 http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3007951


My motherboard cant support intel so i has to choose AMD

this page made me choose phenom due to rank but x3 core will increase perfomance?...

If you have an AM2+/AM3 socket I see no reason why you shouldn't choose the Quad Core I suggested.
It's way better then the X2 one.

My old processor has no AM2+/AM3 yea.. Is really old but the phenom x2 and the athlon x3
has AM3 Socket
so i still not understanding witch i should choose
amd athlon x3 3.2 ghz (am3) or amd phenom x2 3.2 ghz (am3)

Let me see if I get this straight.
You don't have and AM3 socket but you're having a hard time choosing from CPU's that is AM3 socket types?
Are you 100% sure that you really don't have at least a AM2+ socket?

A AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz should be compatible with a newer AM2+ socket type.
I'm confused, sorry.
Really hard time to choosing a cpu so this is my last ask

witch cpu i should choose

AMD PHENOM II X2 555 3.2GHZ
AMD ATHLON II X4 640 3.0GHZ


x4 cores make faster??.. i suck choosing <.<
@x4 cores make faster?

Only if you use LLE plugin

LLE plugin then quadcore will not help me to improve perfomance i should use phenom

thanks!!!
Yup! Phenom would be a better choice
Thank god.... go for the Phenom mate, do not even look at the Athlon

Except for the rare ones that do not have L3 cache, those ones are Athlon's in disguise Wink
