Recently picket up this old Thinkpad T30 for 2 bucks at a local flea market. Its a bit scratched up and the battery is more or less dead but everything else is working fine. Its Pentium 4M, 1gb of ram and 40gb hdd might be a bit overkill for win2k but its really amazing. Running Firefox 13 and a webone proxy to deal with ssl issues.

Nope. Only have n64 and snes atm. Dont think this laptop would run gc at a playable framerate.
Edit: In case you are talking about classicube: Thats a rewrite(afaik) of one of the alpha versions of Minecraft

Dolphin is the main GC/Wii emulator. It works great on a modern-ish computer, but you can't really run it on GC-era hardware.

oh yeah! dolphin is kinda next level! it's probably one of the most impressive emulators ever made

i remember when they created ubershaders to address the last of the stuttering you'd get with some games and the collective internet just kinda lost its mind
