sorry for the caps , i changed the words,
and i dont understand "Weak", i think the procesor A8 ( 11.6 ghz total ) is a good procesor like athlon ii x4 not?

, thanks man , im wainting for more aswers because i confused a little.

Quad Core doesn't mean 2.9 Ghz x4...

It isn't, also it isn't 11.6 GHz

mm ok , so , what is your recomendation ? i still play with 35-45 fps ? or what can i do for increase the speed ?

thanks a lot !!!

Because dolphin only uses two of the cores (unless you have lle on thread, in which case lle gets a core too) the fact that it is a quad core is irrelevant. What you need for dolphin is speed, and unfortunately 4 x 2.9GHz cores doesn't work like one 11.6GHz core, particularly as often it can't do the next command without the results for the previous one.

So basically for dolphin, in many ways a 4GHz dual core is far better than a 3GHz Quad core, although if you are using LLE on thread then you'd be better with a fast quad core if you could afford it.

2.9ghz is too slow

gpu is too slow

gamebooster LOL

get an intel i3 2100, a 5770 or better then that´s it, better yet a i5 2500

I just ordered a FX-8170, which is 31.2 Ghz, hope its fast enough.

I hope you're being sarcastic...
