Thanks in advance.

I have that laptop. While it is able to play some games well, most others are not going to run at full speed. This laptop has a much better chance of playing PC games well rather than Dolphin. Dolphin just needs too much processing power and this will not be enough.

Thanks for the reply.

2.3Ghz is turbo core which means only 1 core at 2.3Ghz (not quad core anymore)
Dolphin may use 2 core at 2.0Ghz ...
It is the same as playing dolphin on pentium 4

That's not true at all. You're thinking of first generation turbo boost in intel cpus. 2.3GHz is the max clock rate regardless of how many cores are active.

Also not true. Llano has a performance per clock inbetween athlon II and phenom II desktop cpus. Which is equivalent of the performance per clock of core 2 duo/quad mobile cpus.

I suggest you read some reviews on llano before making these kinds of statements.
