you failed to provide us with what your gpu is. Also, that yonah cpu of yours is clocked kinda low, so you might get 15-30fps, provide you have something better than the trash intel integrated.

you will be able to play gamecube at 10-20fps

yeah, 15-30 fps would be fine on that laptop of yours.

you dont... stick with ur gamecube/wii... it will be much faster, 30fps generaly means half speed (i swear to god illius if you come in here and flame me im going to kill you) but if you are hellbent on playing an emulator search the forums for your game and you will probably find the right settings
