Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

I'm on a budget, and I want to buy a computer that can run dolphin at full speed. My budget is £350.

I have found this computer for a reasonable price (£280), but can it run dolphin at fullspeed?

Processor Intel® Core™ i3-550 Processor
- 3.20 GHz
- 2.5 GT/s DMI
- 4 MB Smart Cache
- Dual-core processor

Operating System Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit

RAM 3GB DDR3

Graphics card Integrated Intel HD graphics (I will be putting in a NVIDIA® GeForce 210 512MB DDR2 PCI-E Silent Graphics Card (£29), unless I'll need a better graphics card)
- up to 1024 MB shared memory

Hard drive 500 GB 7200 rpm SATA


Thanks in advance

No computer under 500 Euro can run Dolphin at full speed.....

Don't be such a cheap ass...

Unless it is a refurbished computer. If this computer was new, it would be round £500, but it's not. Please judge on the specs not the price.

Unfortunatly, I have no choice but to be cheap, as I am in fulltime education, and only get pocketmoney =[.

So get a wii, it'll play all of the games 100% with no speed problems..

that GT 210 doesnt seem too good if you're gonna play at hi res
CPU will probly need to be about 4GHz to make sure you play at full speed for any game (Wii/GC)
2 core CPU may not be so great when Dolphin uses 100% leaving nothing else for background processes

so, don't expect great results with a computer like that
