About Hardware Or Software(gsdx)

hye..
i wanna ask about the gsdx plugins..
which one is better??
the hardware or software setting for dx9..
im currently using windows xp..
n im playing final fantasy x-2, disgaea 2, persona 4..
only final fantasy x-2 seems to be running at almost full speed..
disgaea 2 suffer from laggy effects sometimes..
persona 4..
how should i say..
real slow..
only the anime cutscene or watever is fast..

my specs are:
intel c2d t5750 2.0ghz
intel gm965
1gb ram

i know the specs are really low but i just wanna play the games..
right now im just playing final fantasy x-2 and disgaea 2 coz it fast unlike persona..

Which are better: nose rings or ice cream sundaes? They each have their strengths...Ice cream sundaes taste good, while nose rings...umm...I'm not quite sure what they're good for...

Anyways, the point is, neither is simply "better" than the other. Try both, it's not hard to do.

Software emulates the GS in software, hardware does it on the GPU. Software is generally slower but more accurate and more stable. Hardware is faster, and lets you run at really high resolutions. Your GPU completely sucks, though, so maybe software will be faster for you...

true though..
i play ff x-2 and disgaea 2 using software..
but i just can't get persona 4 to work nicely..
when its time to battle the game just like freezes..
i guess have to stick playing ffx-2

You need a ps2 to use pcsx2 legally.
Closing this, and have a warning.
