Hey... So this is my mom's laptop specs..

http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/8397/momsspecs.png

Graphics card is Geforce 8400 GS... If that matters.. :eyemove:

Can i run it? Fairly? Good? maybe.. around 40-50 fps? =]

And what you think about me running Wii games to? :D

Run it? Yes.

Run it well? No.

To be more precise, as usual it depends on the game. My laptop has slightly higher specs and runs most games at 30fps - 40fps.

With that?? Stick to simple 3D/2D Wii/GC games (Ben10, Wii Sports maybe, etc.). 40-50fps is being way too much to even hope right now in those specs. At least, make sure to activate Dual Core in options and use OpenGL plugin. Otherwise, use your Wii.

Indeed. Pentium D = Pentium Dual Core

Anyway, if the DC option in the Dolphin configuration settings is already turned on, then there really isn't much else you can do other than buying more powerful hardware or waiting for a faster revision of Dolphin.

hmmm great now i know that FPS doesn't depend too much on your pc Specs it's the coding which has to be improved because on this forum i have seen people get almost same FPS as you with there core 2 duo processors

I get 60 fps constant on Zelda Windwaker but the large areas in Zelda Twilight Princess are slow for everyone, regardless of their system specs. Is that what you mean?
