Get a better CPU. And a 64 bit OS.

64 OS is required to use dolphin at all. But your CPU *may* be fine for thin games like ZWW. But I doubt for F-Zero or SS.

I Had e7400 and this series overclocks pretty well. Mine was able to have stable 4GHz so try OC - each 100MHz is priceless in Dolphin
And 64bit OS is a must.

OK. I put my core 2 duo e8400 in my motherboard and installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
I can play F-zero, Zelda WW and SS at 55 frames and up with slowdowns sometimes.
Thanks for the fast reply!!

8400 is a nice "overclocker" as well - read some guides and overclock it - You will gain a lot of speed

Yes overclocking is a must with a Core 2 Duo, you will be limited by the cpu, so 30% more cpu speed will result in about 30% more fps.
But even for Wind Waker, i'd say you need the right settings to play it smoothly.
