------------------------------------------------------------
The game i am Trying to run is, Mortal Kombat armegedon, but it seems that the FPS is very sluggish, its playable, but
its too slow for my taste, on average it runs at around 20 fps.
If you need, i will also Post my Dolphin settings. Please tell me what i need to do to Increase my Game speed

You need a new computer... There's no setting in Dolphin that will make it run full speed with your very old hardware...

I'll have to second Jhonn's opinion here.. Just make sure to at least get a 64-bit OS as I believe the dev team pretty much dropped 32-bit support
Upside is, those new Haswell Pentiums (I believe) are pretty cheap and apparently do damn well in dolphin

That 4200 will not render at a very fast speed (as in, unplayability will be yours), and artifacts will be abound. I know from experience.

If you can provide us with a budget we might be able to help you find decent parts so you're able to run a decent amount of games at better speeds
