Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Hi..
I am buying a notebook ( i really can't have a PC ) and one of main reasons why i will invest more money in it is because of Dolphine emulator!!!
So, because of that its really important that i buy one that will be capable of running games on Dophine emulator..
So i really need your help people, so that i don't make mistake and waste my money for nothing..

This is configuration

Notebook FORCEBOOK Vega, Intel Core 2 Duo T5250 (1.5 Ghz, 2MB) Merom, 15.4" WXGA+, 2GB DDR2 RAM, DVD+-RW SM, 160GB SATA HDD, NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT (512MB), BT, WLAN, GLAN, 2.0MP Cam, FP, Windows XP Home

What u think? What should be changed??
If u know some better compaq with price around 1200$ - name it..

Thanks in advance....

Get better CPU, Dolphin requires powerful Dual Cores for full speed gaming

Well i noticed it says that recommendation is 2GHz right.. Would that be really, really enough for high details and smooth play in all games??
How much is graphic card important.. I guess this one is too good right... So , if i would buy worse graphic card then i can buy better processor..

Can u recommend any CPU that would be good enough and cost as lower as possible??

for fullspeed you need at least a 2.8 ghz dual core

Not really, any 2.4 Ghz would be good. I had C2D E7200 2.53 Ghz and most of the games that should run full speed, run full speed

Is this good enough then?? This is PC though..

Well, this stock will be able to run games at full speed

The question is.. Can you Afford it?

Looks good, really goood.
What price do you get for that?

Well, this one is cheap.. Its around 550 euro total.. Its PC so is much cheaper then compaq...

Here is compaq i can get from my friend for same money.. It have a lot worse specs but its compaq which is really important to me.. Would it be good enough for all games? It graphic card can run Mass Effect on low details, Fallout 3 on low-mid.. Its not really strong one.. Processor is at 2.4 GHz as u can u .. This compaq costs much more if u buy it in shop.. I will also get 3 years guarantee...
