Good enought for just GC? - darknido - 10-19-2016
Is my pc good enough to run dolphin. I'm only using it for gamecube games.
Most games I be using is starfox assault, paper mario the 100 year door and starwars rogue squadron 2 and some general games.

GC is not inherently less intensive than Wii games. For example, RS2 is much more intensive than New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
You should be able to handle most things at full speed. But I suggest overclocking your CPU, or you may still have some performance issues in intensive games like RS2.

I don't often overclock the cpu since it's using a stock cooler and haven't need to but what would be the best cock speed for most GC games? the cup will goto 3.80GHz when needed.

Hmm, I don't know. Why don't you just try it and overclock if needed?
