Your specs are significantly worse that that. That CPU is pretty weak for PCSX2. Especially a demanding game like BGDA is not gonna run well on that. Sorry.

Uhh, it's better because it's a desktop i5 with a much better single threaded performance

Those Snowblind games aren't emulated too well last I checked, and as such they are incredibly difficult to get good speeds on. Even people with modern Intel chips have slowdowns from time to time.

I figured between the max clockspeed of my processor and the multithread speed hack I would at least be able to get decent speeds out of it, maybe 40-50 fps. But apparently not.

The MTVU speedhack can work wonders for some games, provide only marginal gains for others, and in the worst case scenario break games altogether.
When it comes to AMD and Intel processors, currently Intel has much stronger single-thread performance per core, which is more important than outright multi-thread grunt. AMD processors can hold their own in multi-threaded scenarios, but PCSX2 and other emus benefit the most from pure x86 integer throughput, which is where Intel shines at with their mature refined uArch.
