but in general , can some one recommend a PC Specs that guarantee best result while using Dolphin? Undecided
Thanks in advanced.
Use a rev like 3200 or something then u should get almost/full speed Big Grin. (Play in OpenGL :p)

Intel i5 + Nvidia 9600 and like 4 GB of RAM or higher will do the job ^_^.
VIDEO CARD : Dual 1GB ATI Radeonâ„¢ Mobility HD 4870 in CrossfireXâ„¢
MEMORY : 6GB DDR3 at 1066MHz
HARD DRIVE : 500GB 7,200RPM SATA-II HD
PROCESSOR: Intel® Core™ i7 920XM 2.0GHz (3.2GHz Turbo Mode, 8MB Cache)

I am Trying to buy a Laptop with those Specs.
Will this do the Trick? and Does Dolphin Support Multi GPU?
I Am also worried about i7 because some people say its faster while
some other says its slower when it comes to dolphin.

Si senyor, that is a high end system.
Yes!

You should play decently in most games. Use the framelimit option, should you need it.

mmm Good because i am not into PC Games my self , I am on Dolphin Specficly Wink but i may lower the Ram since its alienware to avoid More Expensive prices. Thanks Smile

can you or any one else tell me if Dolphin uses 2 Graphic Cards at the same time or its up to the graphic card settings?

Sure, but don't' go lower than 4Gb

I'm not entirely sure if dolphin can handle both Radeon's, but if possible you should be able to achieve high settings.
But i know for a fact that the cpu is the primary focus for dolphin, the graphics card isn't as important.
Dolphin does not really take advantage of even one video card, so no, two is definitely not needed. All the card needs is to be capable of Pixel shader 2.0. Better cards help somewhat, but in general any newer video card is fine.

well my Friend had a laptop and he uses DX9 Plugin and he runs pentium dual core and its Slow because he uses some of intel mobile express graphic chip He played Super smash bross brawl and sonic adventure 2 both Games gave him 50% Speed even Less.

I had a pentium 4 back then with a geforce 9500 graphic card and i was able to Run Sonic adventure 2 battle using DX9 and open GL Both plugins gave me 27-26-25 FPS Over 30 while he Could only archive 15-11-10 FPS Most of the time.

Graphic card also matters specially when you want to use dolphin at its highest settings Tongue

if dolphin takes advantage of 2 Graphic Cards that would be awesome.
