Alot of computers that are low end cannot play your games because they are in the 200-700MHz and less that 1GB video memory
Then theres the people that have only 1.6ghz processor that cant even run the program

One thing that REALLY helps while I work on a game is to bring the Quality to "Low".
On Medium, there is a lot of lag between pressing buttons and what happens on screen and on High it's even worse. On Low, I don't have any of these problems.
I'm sure really good computers don't have these problems, but if you are, try the Low setting and you should be okay. It doesn't look very pretty, but it works.
If you're having problems it shouldn't be your computer.
I've got a 2.2ghz, HP but it's only an AMD Athlon II Dual-Core. The laptop is a hand-me-down so it's at least a few years old. It's only got 4GB ddr3 ram on it. You've got a quad-core and at least double the ram I'm working with, so it should at least be even.
You probably won't be able to play with high graphics on, but you should be able to play with the low settings.
I'm not surprised it takes so much processing power to run this emulator. I'm editing games that are less than 100k, and they end up with a 3DN file that's over 10MB.... over 100 times the size of the original cart.
Most people probably aren't working with anything under 1ghz processors these days. I haven't had a computer with under 1ghz for over 10 years now, and I never buy high end stuff.
I would be curious to know what the base recommended specs are for this emulator one day, but it would probably take some trial and error working with people having problems with it to find out what the bare limits are.
