I'm not very glad with the Recommended CPU. You should have 3 ghz here, 2 Ghz Dualcore are good, but not good enough to play games perfekt. just some, but not too many. Oh, and the name is Core 2 Duo, or just write Dual Core.

RE: [Info] PC Specs minimal to play dolphin - The King - 07-30-2009

Yeah, I read, but some games can play perfectly with 3 Ghz, although the cannot with 2 Ghz. I mean, its your Info-guide, I just wanted to notice that.

i tested with a 2Ghz dual core and some games run perfect

Hm, I should have said "not good enough to play all games perfect that may run perfect on a better system. Okay, forget that. Maybe you should also have an optimal-setting section?

Just cause of interest, what games did you test that run perfect?

You can NOT recommend a 32bits PC with 4Gigs of Ram ^^

+ My HDD (raptor) is only 74 Gigs , but it does run the Emulator quite well ^^ (So is it really a matter of size ? )

I think he means the space you need if you want to have a couple of games. I only have between 40 and 74 Gb of Gamecubegames, with such a "small" HDD like your I wouldn't have any space for Windows + other games anymore.
But I would recommend an SSD, I'm not sure but I think it is much faster for Dolphin.
