I honestly don't think your CPU is fast enough for the Dolphin emulator.

I can play the dolphin emulator on my 6400 fine, and I have a HD 5750 that draws about 40w so it makes most emulators jump.  What you need to do is dual boot into a stripped down OS like MicroXP and have at least 2gig of memory with a nice clean drive.  You should be fine.
If I had only one wish, it would be for three more wishes.

I'm pretty sure the newest version of Dolphin (4.0) - which fixed a lot of stuff - runs only on DX11.  So WinXP isn't an option.   

You can stick with the older 3.5 version to run on DX9 / WinXP though.
