Well... the processor is pretty old. I got it since 2007 and I want to change it but the cost is too high where I live and I'm married since 2 years ago, have a kid, and other priorities that makes me refuse to change it right now. :P
However, this system sports actual games in 1200p (1920x1200) very nicely. Even horrendously optimized games like GTA IV. xD
In emulation, PCSX2 works pretty unstable, maybe because the lack of some modern processor's instructions, since it's most modern instructions set is SSSE3. :$
Dolphin works pretty awesome in max resolution, but not as good as I want. I played GameCube games without problems but Wii games are (obviously) much harder to emulate. Anyway, I could play in full framerate some games like New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Super Paper Mario, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Mortal Kombat Armageddon, Muramasa - The Demon Blade, Onechanbara - Bikini Zombie Slayers, Castlevania Rebirth, Contra Rebirth, Gradius Rebirth, Chindouchuu!! Pole no Daibouken, Rockman 9, Rockman 10 and maybe a couple more that I'm forgetting right now. ^_^U
However, I can't get decent framerates in games from Sonic franchise, that are my favorites. T__T

I've to try Zelda but... I don't know. Not very attractive for me since the first one. :P
Also, I doubt that Twilight Princess or Skyward Sword will run smoothly on my system. :$
Maybe I should try Twilight Princess on my real Wii but I can't play Skyward Sword there that, between both games, it's the most interesting for me. ^_^U
