No , not a chance
Most GC games are playable (not full speed)
Some GC games are not playable at all

Quote:what settings and dolphin version should i use?

Lowest settings (keep everything at minimum , 480p)
Reason :

Quote:intel hd 3000

For Sengoku Basara Samurai heroes , use Dolphin r5186
64bit : http://www.mediafire.com/?nzctm2xjv8nek6j
32bit : http://www.mediafire.com/?yjwdxtniqik
The rest of 'em just use either Dolphin 3.5 stable version or latest Dolphin 3.5 -1xxx

You better use Thottlestop to force your CPU running 2.8GHz with Dolphin all the time . 2.9GHz is single core Turbo Boost (only 1 core active)
Set your CPu multiplier = 28

btw would i get benefit if i check OpenMP with 26multiplier 4cores?
or just 28 multiplier 2cores better?

Try both of 'em to see which option is better for you
OpenMP hardly speedup anything rather than reducing micro stuttering .It's not like it will use 100% 4 cores anyway .
Dolphin is a dual core application
