You can't. Buy a Gamecube.

the reason i'm using an emulator is because my gc broke.
also in the graphics option, the AA bit is greyed out and so are more options, why is this?

1. The GUI is full of placeholders that do not do anything. Force AA in your drivers.
2. It's slow because a) your PC is too slow, and b) because the emulator isn't perfect.
3. Read the FAQ, all your questions have been asked numerous times.

For your information:

READ THE FAQ (http://emutalk.net/showthread.php?t=18442)

Q: Whoa, Dolphin is running as fast as a pregnant snail, what am I doing wrong?
A: The Nintendo Gamecube is a very advanced platform and (todays) computers are not fast enough yet to emulate it with the techniques we use. So... you aren't doing anything wrong! Upgrading a CPU or GPU won't gain you much more performance (you will only gain 1-5 fps). IF you decide to upgrade just besure to get a 64-bit CPU and a GPU which supports (at least) 2.0 pixelshaders.
