Hello, I want to buy a processor to run PCSX2, but my motherboard does not support Intel Core i3, i5 or i7.
My RAM is 2 GB DDR2 and my video card is NVidia Geforce 9600 GT.
If I buy an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400, will I be able to play PS2 games perfectly, like on a true PS2, at 100% of speed, with music and sound effects?

Many games will play at full speed, not all though. And perfect is not a word I would use for most of the games that are playable. Some have minor to major bugs, be it graphical or otherwise.
Specs:
CPU: C2D E8400 @ 3.6
GPU: GTX 560Ti 2Gb
MOB: Asus P5QL
RAM: Crucial 4Gb
OS: Windows 7 64bit/XP 32bit

Some games that I want to play are: Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy XII, Dragon Quest VIII, God of War, Metal Gear Solid and Gran Turismo 4. Will these games run at full speed without annoying bugs?

I can speak for FFX, FFXII. These will work fine, FFX is nearly perfect, FFXII can have minor glithes(atleast when I last tried it) fully playable though. I think youll be ok for GoW/MGS but Im not sure since I dont have them. GT4 is supposedly one of the most demanding games and requires somewhere around 4ghz.
