Pentium Ds are dual-core... that's what the "D" stands for...
But yea, they suck compared to their C2D counterparts.
I also have a similar set up as the poster. I say you go for and it mess with your set up and the different rev. ver. Right now I can get zelda WW runing at a steady 17-20 fps in large open areas and 25-30 fps in smaller areas. RE4 runs at around 17-24 right now since i just started to mess with it.
Both being GC games. Yes our Pentium D probably won't get full speed all the time but we can get to the point where we can enjoy the game. My hope is to get both these games running at 20fps+ all the time.
P.S. use Game Booster to shut down back ground programs when your using dolphin when they are not needed.
