Is it possible that I can use this emu with
Pentium D 2.80Ghz
2GB Ram
512MB ATi X800 XT
I tried running GT4 and I followed one of Wohlrajh's posts about the best config to run GT4, but when I race I get horrible frame rate. It seems like a second is a millisecond in that game.
Any suggestions?

Your system is very old. You can try some of the more compatible games like FFX or Kingdom Hearts with some speed hacks, but I wouldn't expect too much.

Upgrade your rig entirely for best result.

Look man, you cannot play this game well 50fps+ if you dont have C2D at.3.6Ghz or equavalent and good gpu directx.10 mode support and play this game under directx.10 mode.

ill prob have to upgrade the graphics card myself
Slim cases are bad news. I used to own one. Typical problems include:
* Rapid overheating if you disable Speedstep / power conservation options.
* Lousy and inconsistent performance for games if you
don't disable those.
* Neither ATI nor Nvidia make low-profile versions of their high end video cards, and most likely you won't find LP versions of their mid-range stuff either. (ie, you're stuck 'upgrading' to a low end card since that's all that'll fit in your crap case).
* Putting a better video card in your case causes even more overheading, leading to more speedstepping, resulting in an overall performance drop; when you would be expecting like, you know, a speedup?
If you're interested in gaming -- and Pcsx2 in particular -- then avoid the slim cases. They're bad mojo. IF you do insist on getting a slim case, then crack it open as soon as you get it, and take a small rotating table/desk fan and point it right into the back of the dumb thing. That'll allow you to disable all the speedstepping crap and at least get stable performance from it.
