Any Recommendations?

Im new to PCSX2, but not to emulation. I have been playing all the games off of DVDs. Does the FPS increase that much if I make an ISO on harddrive? Also, any plugin/config advice for my system specs (In Sig.).

Some games run better with ISOs. And then there is the convenience bonus
Best plugins/PCSX2 for you might be ( may vary depending on the game ):
Consider using new PCSX2 Beta
GSDX in DX10 Mode ( requires Vista )

If you opt to use the Playground Beta you should also play a bit with:
Denormals are Zero ( speeds up many games, breaks very few )
Speedhacks ( speed up some / many games, break some / many )

But don't expect 3D intense games to go full speed with your rig, CPU and GPU are way to weak for many PS2 games.
