Hi guys,
So basically I've been trying to get to grips with using the PCSX2 emulator on my PC. I've had some problems which seem to be fairly "typical" after browsing the forums, but I thought I'd make a thread to ask specifically what you guys think.
When I load up my ISO image file, in the game menus it's fine, (fps seems to stay exactly around the 60 mark for some reason) however, when the game starts properly, the video and sound slows down a great deal, to the point where I'm getting 15-30 or fps, and is unplayable.
Now, I've tried speed hacks (various combinations), some of the different plugins installed with PCSX2 and I've also tried disabling DEM in Vista. All of which did nothing to help my problem.
My PC Specs are -
Vista 32 Bit
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (Stock)
2GB Corsair RAM
Nvidia GeForce 8800GT
Here is a screen shot of both my GFX settings, and my config.

Now, I'm thinking it could be my CPU which is causing the problem? Wouldn't mind some back up on this as I have decided to overclock my CPU to about 3.2GHz if this is the case. However, obviously I would rather not overclock my CPU if I can achieve playable FPS with my Q6600 running at stock speed (2.4GHz).
Anyway, help would be much appreciated! <3
