Try something demanding (Zelda TP, F-Zero GX, Super Mario Galaxy, The Last Story, etc) and you be lucky if you hit 50% emulation speed in those CPUs...

im not looking for wii im a gamecube guy

No dev version has efb to ram

Yes they do, it's just the only option.

Show me a picture on how to enable it

There's the new option "Store EFB Copies to Texture Only", disabling this option means EFB to RAM, enabling it means EFB to Texture.

There's a lot of GameCube games that are as demanding (or even more demanding) as heavy Wii games, so, playing GameCube only games won't make your AMD CPU better for Dolphin...

So would http://www.amazon.com/Intel-i5-560M-Processor-Cache-BX80617I5560M/dp/B0049T1FO8/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1436453981&sr=8-14&keywords=core+i5 or a http://www.amazon.com/Intel-i5-650-Processor-Socket-LGA1156/dp/B0030DL3FU/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1436453981&sr=8-7&keywords=core+i5 give a decent speed up

I said *recent* Intel CPUs, at least an Ivy Bridge (i3-3xxx, i5-3xxx, i7-3xxx), preferably a Haswell (i3-4xxx, i5-4xxx, i7-4xxx). Or, if you're low on budget, buy a Pentium G3258 and overclock it to at least 4.0 GHz (you can overclock it on stock cooler without problems), you'll get very good performance in Dolphin in almost any game...

All ready clocked at 4.0ghz and idk what socket it is any recommendation on a gpu edit: Is this the right mortherbord to go with the cpu? http://www.amazon.com/MSI-Computer-MicroATX-Motherboard-H81M-E33/dp/B00F42W70A/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1436462194&sr=1-1&keywords=lga+1150+motherboard

not unless you have a really small case. get a Z97 board
