Well thats it,i hope you managed to survive this wall of text,and i do hope to hear from you very soon,thanks.

Your CPU is not strong enough to run those games at full speed at all times.

Thanks for a speedy reply.Makes me wonder thou, what kind of a monster maschine dose one need to have to run the games on full speed all the time?

I think your standards are a bit lower than what you'll find around here. By our standards that cpu is total garbage. It would have been considered great by 2005 standards but in the year 2011 you can purchase a cpu that will run dolphin 4 times that fast on a modest budget, 6 times as fast on a high budget.

Haha, I have a rig with the 4400+, the only thing working fine on it is Brawl... as long as your character is the only animated thing displayed lol.
