If you are serious about playing with Dolphin you should definitely upgrade your CPU. I tested Dolphin yesterday on Athlon x2 64, C2D and Phenom II and NaturalViolence is right. Get that Phenom II. You can't use its full potential on that motherboard, but the difference will be huge. I use Phenom II x4 955 for everyday work and occasional gaming and I must say it has great value for the money. It costs around 100$ which makes it perfect buy for gamers on budget. Sure if you can afford i7, new motherboard and ram get it. It's even faster.
After some tweaks I got Mario Kart Double Dash running at around 45 fps on the following configuration.
Athlon 64 x2 5600+
2GB DDR2 800
MSI K9N Platinum (nForce 570 ultra)
Galaxy GT240 1gb DDR3
Windows 7 pro 32bit
Nothing is overclocked
This are the settings I used:
Dolphin 3.0-191-Dirty
Enable Dual Core
Enable Idle Skipping
Jit Recompiler
Lock Threads to Cores
Use Panic Handlers
Sound
Enable DTK Music disabled. Everything else default.
Graphics:
D3D 9
Fullscreen resolution 1330x768 (it's the TV's native)
Scaled EFB Copy
2xNative
4xSSAA
4xAnisotropic
EFB Copies Texture (slider Slightly to the right)
Fast Mipmaps
Cache Display Lists
Disable Per Pixel Depth
Good luck.
