Hi guys, I'm new to PCSX2 and I'm having a little problem.
I'm running an ISO of Mega Man X collection and during normal game play it oscillates between 60 and 50 fps, but when it comes to cut scenes and the Capcom animation it drops down to 20 fps
. I'm using the GSDX SSE41 plugin and all of the emulation settings are at defaults, except for the speed hacks, which I have set to preset 2 otherwise the ISO would run at 20 fps the entire time. Is there anything I can do to fix this.
Here are my system specs:

. I thought my CPU was too weak, so then could I upgrade it to any one of these CPU's in the link? My hope is that I will be able to play more demanding games like Final Fantasy X with out any hiccups. I would imagine that I would need more RAM and a GPU upgrade, is this correct? I'm considering upgrading my CPU to the Intel Core 2 Duo Extreme X900 and my GPU to Nvidia 8800M GTX. Would this be enough to realize my goal?
