Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

hi there guys!
Next week i'm going to buy a new pc tower and i was just wandering if this pc is capable of running dolphin at full speed,720p and maybe 1x native resolution

Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium
Processor Type: Intel Core i7-2600
Processor Speed: 3.4 GHz
Processor Cores 4
RAM 8 GB
Radeon HD 7670
price $1050

or i might get this one but it's a little pricey

Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium
Processor Type: Intel Core i7-2600
Processor Speed: 3.4 GHz
Processor Cores 4
RAM 16 GB
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti
price $1500

this one is a maybe, i'm aiming to get the first one. these are the games that i want to play tell me if it can play at full speed
xenoblade chronicles, twilight princess, wind waker, skyword sword, metroid prime trilogy. plz feedback thx

Both of them should do 1080p (3x Internal Res) fine
But if i was you , i would get i5 2500k instead of the non-overclockable i7 2600

$450 just for an extra 8GB of ram, dont know about the graphic cards though

i see then i shall get a i5 2500k. however if things don't work out would the i7 2600 still do the trick?

no not just 8GB of ram, it has alot more futures then the first one like

Hard Drive Capacity 2.5 TB
Blu-ray Combo Drive
High-Definition Audio With 5.1-Channel Support
5 usb ports etc. etc.

i7 2600 = i5 2500 + Hyper Threading + 100Mhz
No "k" = no overclock
And Hyper Threading is useless on dolphin
Buy aftermaket cooling plus i5 2500k then overclock it to 4.4Ghz for The Last Story (EFB copy to Ram) , Mario Galaxy (LLE backend) .... i7 2600 don't stand a chance unless you get i7 2600k @ 4.5Ghz
