I don't really mind not running in hi resolution, I see what you mean by an even more powerful CPU, FFX taxes it to around 75% sometimes. And Castlevania Curse of Darkness taxes it from 60% to 100% most of the time, it runs at 60fps but ingame the characters are slow moving, everything else runs fine even the sound isn't slow its just the characters movements, and they will speed up when the CPU isn't almost taxed. It seems Pcsx2 is very CPU demanding. I have AMD Turion 2 2.50ghz dual-core. I do need some help in picking a better CPU. Will a 3.0ghz Phenom 2 dual-core be an improvement enough to put those high numbers down a bit. Or do I need a Triple core or quad, and if so what speed would work. Do triple and quad cores with lower speeds do better then dual cores with faster speeds, like 2.2ghz quad core vs. 3.0ghz dual-core ? Please be specific in explaining this so I can might the right purchase. Thanks

Triple core cpu dont exist
I personally have a quad i7 2.2ghz stock that boosts up to 3.1ghz and i play All my games at a steady 50fps Pal using only the MTVU hack( it puts Vu on its own core ) But im sure some of the more tec minded users will give you excellent advise on what to looks for

If someone could answer these questions it would make me happy to know, and I also needed to know if there would be any advantage of having a 64 bit OS. Will it yield more power for the CPU?

Simple, you'll break the 4GB system memory limit...

Thanks for the help, but i'm still confused to whether a tri or quad core clocked at a lower speed will outperform a dual-core clocked at a higher speed. dual 3.0ghz vs. tri 2.2ghz vs. quad 1.8ghz. Which is the best for performance ? And saying 64bit won't help, does that mean I will lose any performance I already have on 32bit ?

if the clock speed difference is quite big ( more than 3GHz on the dual 2 GHz on the tri/quad ) the Dual is better or when MTVU work it's best equal
so check the price then decide ....
but if the clock speed difference is less than a GHz then go for the quad/tri
