what is the recommended notebook? - andrew.corsi - 03-09-2011
Hello,
I'll buy a notebook
and I was wondering
what are the best to run the dolphin?
...Cheapest please...
RE: what is the recommended notebook? - metalnumb - 03-09-2011
To run dolphin at playable speeds for any game you need at least :
1-Intel Core ix CPU with Clock Higher than 3GHZ, Dolphin uses 2 cores and could make use of 3 Cores (not recommended).
2-Good mid-End graphics Card if you wanna go higher than 720p (never use integrated Intel GMA cause that Sucks).
3-At Least 2GB of RAM.
4-Finally Windows Seven x64,it performs Way Better than the 32bit version and older OS's.

Well,If You Use The DSP LLE Plugin (use the search function for more information) you can enable the option:-
"LLE on thread" Which will dedicate a third core for DSP Emulation (Speed Things Up/Reduce Stuttering)

Wait for Sandy Bridge which can turbo boost to 3Ghz+ if you have 1000$+
Or get one like mine for 700$

And quad core only give you a few more FPS ,not worth it
