Intel 82945G Express Chipset Family

This say me nothing. But I guess, the whole PC is weak. Maybe you've got an Intel Pentium CPU... Pls use CPU-Z to find out, which CPU do you have.

Quote:What should i upgrade- GPU or Ram?

CPU , Motherboard , GPU , Ram (New mobo use DDR3 Ram and i'm sure you have DDR2 Ram) , Power Supply (For real graphic card)
In other words , build/buy a new/fast computer

dolphin needs almost 300mb of ram in some cases, with windows running aswell you're going to be running slow just because of that alone, get another stick of ram, you can get dolphin "ready" cards for pretty cheap aswell like £50

a new graphic card won't be enough . You need a new computer

Don't listen to him. You need to upgrade your entire system, not just your RAM.

i was assuming he doesnt have money to do a whole new system build, hence why i suggested getting another stick of ram to make windows run a bit better and getting a better graphics card.
