My system specs:
Intel core 2 duo E7600 oc to 3,6Ghz
ATI Radeon HD 4870 1GB OC 800/925(3700GHz)
2GB DDR2 RAM (about to buy another 2GB)
XP prof. SP3

Can i get them better? Can i make it work faster etc. Not that it is working slow, MKA - 100% and only about 90% (max) usage of CPU in most memory taking arenas. But i' m just asking. Are my settings good, should i change anything? THX for help.

Edit: almost forgot, when i start playing game should i boot it from ISO or by plugin? I was always doing it by plugin. Good, right?
Edit2: Another thing. When i start my game, this: http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/9625/beztytuuxgw.png program window does not disappear, thus making my cpu to work even more. I remember in 0.9.6 this window dissapears. How to make it? Maybe i should make the emulator play full screen?

MKA is slow, anyways.
moreover, pushing ee cycle rate to its maximum isn't a good idea. Else, your settings are ok.
about those "90%" where do you read this ? in gsdx window, or in your task manager.
because what you'll get in gsdx window is your gpu load, not your CPU load

Yes thats what i meant cpu load.

jesalvein isn't the EE% your CPU Load? or is it the Emulator CPU Emulation Load?

2nd choice
it's how the Emotion Engine is used by the game
go to the task manager, you'll see that values are different when pcsx2 is running

So with my 6000+ what would be a normal cpu load then, cause most people here says that my CPU isn't just strong enough, but I can easily do other things while the emulator is running. EE is mostly between 90-99% and GS peaks around 40% heh. On my old x2600xt it was around 80%.

depends on the game, in fact
My marvel vs capcom 2 takes about 25 % cpu and EE is 45 %

well the xenosaga series, FFXII, Star Ocean 2, Persona 3 & 4.
