Oooo! MGS.
Take a look at Dolphin:

Keep in mind that to get the best results from Dolphin, you'll need a dual-core CPU running at at least 3GHz (for GC games anyway. Wii games are more intensive).

My stats:
AMD Phenom x2 555 dual core 3.2
3 gigs of ram
windows xp sp3 home
Nvidia 9500GT 1gb vram 3.0 shaders
We have a wii...just want to play MGS: The Twin Snakes

Your CPU should be fine for handling GC games. I'm not too sure about the GPU, but Dolphin is more dependent on the CPU anyway, so it should be good enough. You might want to keep an eye on the resolution you run the game at though and lower it if performance isn't where you want it to be.
