Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

So i dont have much money and i wanna upgrade my computer the max i can before i eventually buy a new one.

I wanna know whats the max CPU i can put in my system.

Here is my motherboard info:

Now assuming i read correctly... The max i can use its this:

Correct? Or i can use something better?


Also how much of a improvement is a dual core 3.0 from dual core 2.4 ? Is it that big of a deal?


Will it have a big impact on Dolphin?

not much improvement. Save your money and upgrade to a beastly computer later, or overclock now.

Don't bother overclocking, athlon X2s are well know amongst the OCing communities for being shitty OCers, even with good air cooling. Like he said though save your money for a full system upgrade.

i am not fully approuve you before i have a amd x2 5200 2.6 just change frequenci and multiplier i go 2.8 stable all game i play a lot big games few games dont like oc but dolphin like it oc a minimum without pay for a big fan and yes wait put you a minimum cash phenom2 x4 965 are very nice i would say crazy for the price amd rules price perfomance

I mean my Case is small as hell and my GFX card barely fits in there and the cords barely reach where they suppose to go.... so i wanna not risk messing things up...


Guess ill save and start from scratch and build something nice >.<

English please. My god, I haven't seen a sentence that fragmented since I was on a Russian forum a few years ago.

Yeah these guys should start using translators.

What good would that do? It will come out with bad grammar either way, I'm just saying they should proofread before they post.

You can't proofread a language you don't know.
Just call them illiterate and leave it there.

I don't think I would go that far. It's not like they can't spell because I see these same people with perfect grammar in some posts, they just stop trying every once and awhile.
