Okay... My Specs is quite poor , i think its not poor. ITS VERY POOR !! I will show you how poor is it..
NOW : (I copied all these from CPU-Z)
CPU - Pentium® Dual-Core 2.5GHz
RAM - 1GB DDR2 333.4MHz
GPU - NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS
Okay , i decided to change a better components
FUTURE : (These components are recommended by a friend
)
CPU - Actually it is AMD Phenom II X4 955 3200Mhz 3.2GHz , but I'm unable to change it because doesn't match my motherboard, so it is still
Pentium® Dual-Core 2.5GHz
RAM -
CORSAIR RAM DDR3 VENGEANCE 4GB 1600MHZ CL9
GPU -
Sapphire 6670 1G D5
Edit : Try to help me find out should I get a better RAM/GPU to replace the CPU i can't change..
With these ^^^^ components , can i have a better performance? I mean play smoothly like playing using Wii.. Or anyone can advice me a better RAM or GPU? i think i cannot change my CPU because it is old already.. If i wanna change my CPU i gotta change my motherboard.. its out of my budget already.
So , i need your biggest help
Hope you understand my broken English..

In my humble opinion you should "SAVE" the necessary money to make a complete upgrade, new "motherboard - Ram - CPU - GPU". Any money you use on your current PC will be a waste.
Not upgrading your cpu would bottle neck you then making any upgrade pretty useless for dolphin. Build a new comp.
Like everyone else said,save up for a new motherboard and CPU over anything else.

I'd like to see you try to use DDR3 RAM on a DDR2 board.
The Pentium Dual-Core E5200 is a VERY good overclocker. If you have a good cooler and a non-OEM motherboard you can get an additional GHz out of it. Mine is enough to play the few Wii games that I own in the 90%+ range.
But of course YMMV... don't hold me responsible. And it probably won't be enough for SMG and SMG2 (I don't have those).
So , the conclusion is i must change my motherboard and CPU in order to get a better gaming on dolphin?
@StupidStories
I am new on these things.. Overclock will be very hard for me , i will COOK my PC afterward..

For DDR3 rams, yes. DDR3 rams won't fit into your current DDR2 motherboard.

Only if you overclocked it too damn high
But seriously, overclock a little won't bite you - overclock moderately high with cooler, still won't bite you
After i change those component , will I get a smooth gaming? Or i need overclock it?
Depends on what Wii game you want to play. Some are more demanding than others.
If you upgrade I would stay clear of the AMD Phenom II X4 955. It's a good mid-budget processor for PC gaming but it's not the best solution for emulated Wii games (at least not at stock speeds).
How if i want to play One Piece Unlimited Adventure , Cruise 1 & 2 ? Is it smooth with those component ?
