Yes it's old but on the front page when a new version of Dolphin was released, he stated that Smash Bros Melee was 100% playable 100% full speed on his crappy computer. How crappy? Can my PC play it?

LOL.. He is tease with you, no.

You didn't read carefully:

- This version requires a 64bit operating system (either Windows XP64 or Vista64)
- SO IT WILL NOT WORK ON A 32BIT OS (GOT THAT?)
- The graphics/audio plugins haven't been upgraded.
- Due core changes some games might run better, some might run worse or not at all
- Speed is now CPU dependant, dualcore is obviously helps a lot.

No, but it'd be wise to get a real GameCube. It's cheaper.

Well what about the older one that works on 32 bit?

Worse than 64 bit.

Jale is right. The newer version is improvement a lot over the older version so don't bother about getting an older version. It's your decision... Buy a new PC or buy Nintendo Game Cube for 30 dollars. :)
