Specs are as follows
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ (Dual Core at 2.2Ghz)
NVidia geforce 8600 gts (256mb)
PCSX2 works great, but I've accepted the fact that with my current (and olllllld) build, I won't be pumping out more than 35-45fps for actual gameplay sequences. (I've tweaked pretty much everything I can think of)
Basically I'm wondering, what would be more of a bottleneck, the cpu or the videocard? Or both?
I have an M3A motherboard I'm not looking to replace and I've been browsing over some inexpensive yet sizable upgrades for either:

Thoughts and opinions?
