can this PC run the emulator - tamerx5 - 05-18-2009
Fellows, What about working with this PC:
Processor: 2.1 GHtz, Celeron D
Ram: 512 MB DDR
Gfx Accelerator: ATI Radeon 9600 XT , 256 Mb
Hope you say "YES"
RE: can this PC run the emulator - envisaged0ne - 05-18-2009
If your processor supports SSE2 then it's possible (which I believe most Celeron D's support up to SSE3). However since Celeron D's aren't Dual Core, games will run VERY slowly at only 2.1 Ghz to the point they will essentially be unplayable. So, realistically, I'd say no it's really not possible because of the extreme slowness you'd experience.

, but it will still be slow

Really? Ummmm, I just did some research and it was stated that it wasn't Dual Core
Just a few quick links I pulled up in a few seconds...

There were many others, but I didn't want to paste them all
Basically it lools like Pentium D's are dual core, but Celeron D's are not

oh wait right "Celeron D", misread it for "Pentium D"
, yea they're only single-core

But if I use the DolphinIL?
RE: can this PC run the emulator - monkey9926 - 05-19-2009
idk my graphics card was really horrible, it couldnt handle opengl or anything so if you have a decent card you should probs be able to play at fair speed.
RE: can this PC run the emulator - Chii - 05-19-2009
yeah,
no dual-core + no support opengl= speed failure~!
RE: can this PC run the emulator - monkey9926 - 05-19-2009
it had HT idk if it is supported by the emu or not.... but still horrible speeds
