Welcome to pcsx2, AMD user.
Firstly, you'll need a fair bit more than just 1.5GB of RAM. 2GB is a bit weak, I'd go for 4GB absolute minimum. And even that's not enough to get a lot of games at full speed. So 6GB+ RAM is good, although don't go for 16GB unless you're spending all your money, as it's usually overkill. 8GB should do you fine.
Secondly, the processor. You have a dual core. You should rarely ever get a dual core unless it's speed is world-beating. A 3GHz+ quad core will do the job pretty well, although I'd recommend 3.5GHz+ if you want all games to work at 3x/4x native @ 60FPS
The graphics card is decent for built in graphics, and 1GB is alright. That can stay unless you want to make games look like HD remakes, in which case pick up a new graphics card(ask around, I'm no expert on individual graphics card performance, but go for a 2GB one). It's probably better than Intel's poor integrated graphics, anyway.
Also, are you using a laptop? Or a desktop PC? Just curious.
If you're willing to spend money on a gaming pc, then that is almost indefinitely the best option. You'll definitely need to upgrade a bit if you're looking to play any ps2 games at full speed(if you did a cheap upgrade then you might get away with it with speedhacks and no fancy options).
EDIT: If you wanted to, you could tinker around and possibly get 30FPS on one or two games with all available speedhacks and similar stuff.
