hello I have been trying to run this dolphin emulator for my wii games. currently i have a stable overclock of 4.1 but it is still not enough to run the emulator properly withought lag or problems. I have tryd to get beyond 4.1 and so far i can only seem to boot into windows at 4.2ghz with a multiplier of 21x and cpu offset of 1.47v but prime95 allwaz crashes after about 5 mins and in hardware moniter my cpu shows max of 1.53v.when running prme95 test. im afrade to up the cpu volt in bios more because of this. can anyone advise me?

4gb ram ? 8 might be more practical.
You need to multiply the Game console Hardware by 20 for the PC to run it properly.
I can run PS2 emulation smoothly but a WII is 4 times more powerful....
Never mind that your PC might be 15 times more powerful than the WII, its not enougth unfortunately, having said that if you can find one that will use all your 6 cores you might do it.
They have just started PS3 emulation, even with an i7 2700K and a 7970 its unplayable.

i would not wish to emlate a ps3 .the only resson for wii is beacuse of the horrible graphics. i can play zelda skyword sword practicly perffecty along with xenoblade with slight audio hickups..but the last story..is another story 
and i thought if i push my cpu to its very limits i could just about get to play it. though it sounds like this is not possible with a 1090t i guess i will have to think about upgrading to intel from now on. since most users that use dolphin are all intel and it seems to run well with them.

Sandy Bridge has a higher core for core IPC performance than Thuban, for this sort of work and only using 2 cores Intel is the better choice.
But you need to ask your friends what Intel CPU's they are using.
Cost wise it could get quite expensive going the Intel rout, if all you need is an i5 2500K its not much more than what a 1090t costs.
if its a 2600K that's a good chunk more money, a 2700K.... well hope you can sell that Thuban to someone who desperately wants it. (they do hold a lot of value)
BTW, you will need a new Motherboard as well if your going Intel.

yes i was thinkng about that ..do u no a good motherbord? i was thinkin the intel alt of the croshair formula iv that i currently have as i would want to overclock the cpu like i did with the 1090t. but if there is a cheaper option with similer overclockin cabailitys i would rather take that.
My first thought would be an Asus Maximus IV or an Asus SABERTOOTH
