Plugins im using-

gigaherz cddvd rom plugin (note i have tried using actual PS2 discs and mounting ISO's with daemon tools since the linuzappz iso utility gives me an error saying it cant load my iso)

i have done some research and it would appear that my graphics card is beefy enough games were initial D special stage and megaman x8

im wondering if its my processor or perhaps my ram? i was running into the same issue with a nvidia 8800 GS card so i upgraded and to no avail the same thing is happenining

It's a single core cpu. The speed is also on the low side. 2fps sounds about right.

2ps is still very low for 2 fpas, i'd try disabling any kind of power saver tool, cool and quiet or whatever, however as stated dr_thrax hinted at you cant really expect playable speed anyway...

thanks for the ninja replies i guess i just need to upgrade everything except my graphics now

Yeah that GTX 260 beast is really going to waste on the ancient single core Athlon. Upgrading it will also mean a motherboard change unfortunately...
