I know you must be sick of this question, but.... - legendiarequiem - 11-18-2009

Can my computer possibly run dolphin at full speed (specifically Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion & Skies of Arcadia: Legends)

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 x2 dual core processor tk-53 1.70 GHz

Memory (RAM): 1.00 GB RAM (Although I use virtual memory to upgrade to 4 GBs). Can be upgraded to have 2.00 GB of proper RAM.

Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce Go 6100

OS: Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit (Although I am thinking about converting to XP for gaming reasons)

Thanks in advance for your help.

Too weak.

Virtual memory isn't RAM. Get 2GB and see where it goes from there, RAM is cheap.

Quite weak, and it probably steals RAM off your motherboard. Very few laptop chipsets have their own dedicated RAM.

Don't go down to XP, just put more RAM in and upgrade to Windows 7 x64. Your processor is capable of 64-bit, and you'll see a 5-10% performance increase.

Overall... Stop trying to run Dolphin on laptops, it's never a good idea. Big Grin
