Seeing as hes got a laptop, overclocking to 2.8-3.0 ghz would probably cost him that laptop.

What do the EE% and GS% say on the top of the game window when the FPS is low?
It wouldn't be too surprising if the EE% is basically maxed, as that means your CPU is limiting the speed (this is very common with PCSX2). Setting Speedhacks can help here.
I also wouldn't be surprised if the GS% is basically maxed, too. Even on Native or low resolution (that's the only thing that really helps with a weak GPU). Based on my experience with my mobile HD 4200, you'll be very lucky to get decent speeds with an HD 4145. It will depend on the game, but if the resolution is low and the GS% is up, you're looking at your GPU's maximum potential with said game.
@ GamerGeek:
LOL You got that right! Practically a full Ghz overclock is very impractical with a laptop. Besides, I'd bet anything that his GPU would get in his way, even if at 3Ghz.

you have no idea what pcsx2 requires to run some games @ full speed.
I guess you only have 2 choices left :
1 - change your PC
2 - go on playing on your PS2

Well, i have try on my computer (not a laptop) and the game working with 40 fps, then it's good.
It's a AMD athlon phenom triple core with 2.30 Ghz, do you think i need to overclock a little for got 50fps or there is an other solution?

if you tried all we said before, except overclocking (good luck overclocking an AMD cpu), there is still your PS2.
