Okay, so I'd like to ask if it's possible for my specs to play games at constant 60 FPS? Here are the specs BTW.

The emulated medium is the console not the game.

about speed: it depends on the game but your processor won't suffice for most of the demanding games, which games are you more likely to play ?

I've been trying to play the Monster Rancher sequels that came out for the PS2. And yeah, my mistake. ^^"

Hmm, I haven't tried the specific game yet so I'm not sure how your processor will fare on it. but I do have a Conroe architecture Core2duo which is clocked at similar clock speed and it managed to handle the God of war series , Bakugan:Battle Brawlers , Naruto Ultimate ninja series and Bomberman Kart quite well at full speed with use of the recommended speed hacks.

Of course it didn't do well on games like GTA series , Fatal Frame , Dot hack games where it only handled even the lower demanding scenes around 20-40 fps averagely. so.. yeah, that's pretty much what you can expect from this processor. as stated before, I'm not sure how Monster Rancher will fare on this processor.

Alright, Thanks for the info!

hmmfg.. any low demanding 3D games, 2D gamesm ..
you can play Final Fantasy X and Kingdom Hearts but don't expect constant 60fps all the time.
