I Would like to buy a new video card: EVGA GeForce GT 440 1024MB
http://www.evga.com/products/moreInfo.as...0Family&sw=

My question is: there will be some improvement in speed, with this graphics card?

Thanks!
Nope , not a single FPS gain
PC game : best GPU as possible + Mid CPU
Emulation : best CPU as possible + Mid GPU

Also , read this thread
Try this and see if you're using the right graphic settings (internal resolution). http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/showthread.php?tid=20712

Either way, you need a new PC.

I got an E6420, those are nicely overclockable. I got mine to 2.8 GHz without problems. You might want to try your luck there, too.
