you need to get a new and modern PC....your current rig won't be enough to run at fair-fine speeds

Try using a (software) renderer in GSdx, it might actually be faster than hardware in your case.
Yeah you do need a hardware upgrade if you want to run PCSX2 at reasonable speed, upgrading the graphics card alone should do a great difference but I'm afraid that cpu will still hold you back specially for suikoden.

New processors will not fit with your old motherboard, so you need to change your whole PC if you want to upgrade.
Edit: mackoyski you're supposed to already own a PS2 to use PCSX2 legally so your suggestion doesn't have much point

You are right bositman.....but not everyone that post for support inquiries here do actually own a ps2....and if they did, they wouldnt be considering upgrades just for using pcsx2 only as it is far more expensive than a real ps2. After all, they do have a ps2 to play with, right?
Give the guy a benefit of the doubt, is what you are saying, or is just my assumption...

Yes that's what I'm saying. We aren't here for witch-hunting after all. I know several people who have upgraded their PCs *just* for PCSX2 but most people simply combine a nice PC upgrade with being able to run PCSX2 decently as an additional plus.
