Well, I have quite a few Gamecube games, Metroid Prime 1+2, Wind Waker, Kirby Air Ride Bond: Nightfire and Agent under Fire, Super Mario Sunshine, Sonic 2 Battle, Mario Party 6(?), SSBM, Luigi's Mansion, Super Monkey Ball 2, Double Dash, and a few others. Main Wii games are Corruption, SSBB, Super Mario Galaxy, the Conduit, Super Paper Mario, Wii Sports, Wii Play, and Twilight Princess.
Once again, thanks Diddy!

Edit: Just noticed NoSound97's youtube channel. I would be content if I could get performance similar to his. My CPU is just slightly worse than his on Passmark CPU lookup http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_lookup.php?cpu=Intel+Core2+Duo+P8700+%40+2.53GHz but my GPU is significantly better. I know CPU is more important but do you think it would be close?

Here we go, the disparity is like comparing nousound's vids to that of rene maruico's.
Have you seen his vids? Take a look. He has his i7 overclocked to 4.0Ghz, but Ghz doesn't matter too much in dolphin. So, results would be slightly similar, but not better.
FYI: Dolphin only has dual core support. Two of your fully functional cores will remain unused.

I was talking about the P8700 actually. You were talking about the i7 right?
I couldn't find any of his videos. Is that his username? I searched but couldn't find him.

Okay, found them. His username doesn't have that "i" at the end, btw, in case any one else sees this thread. His are pretty smooth. So, would the disparity be between my P8700 and his t9550, my p8700 and my i7 720, or my i7 720 and his t9550?

Wait.. What Now?

If you get the asus, ya performance would be similar to nosound. (Two cores used)

Well compare Nosounds Vids with Rene's
But i looked back again, and he has a 920 not a 720

Nosounds performance = p8700
Rene's = i7 720 (A bit worse)

We're both so confused, lol. Why would the Asus be closer to nosounds? The P8700 and t9550 are just around 5% different according to that link I posted earlier. Check it again. The t9550 is just 15 processors above the p8700. Don't forget; Rene has a desktop i7; mine would be mobile. The desktop 920 is significantly faster than the mobile 720. http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_lookup.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i7+720QM+%40+1.60GHz
I am really leaning towards the p8700, so you think that would be similar to nosound's performance with his t9550?

P.S. This has actually gotten kind of comical.
