Good enough to run Wii games? - booty900 - 03-01-2010

I just got this emulator and I am seeing what games can be run. I got New Super Mario Bros Wii and started to play. People on this site say it runs perfectly at 60 FPS. I can only get it up to 45 FPS. It seems to slow to play. Is there a specific build I should be using or is my laptop not good enough. Heres the specs.

Blu-ray Discâ„¢ playback
4GB (2GBx2) DDR2-SDRAM-800
ATI Mobility Radeonâ„¢ HD 4650 graphics with 1GB dedicated video RAM
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor P8700 (2.53GHz)
16.4" VAIO extra-wide HD display (1920x1080)
Genuine Microsoft® Windows® 7 Home Premium
500GB SATA Hard Disk Drive (7200rpm)
