Hello, I was wondering if any could point me in the right direction for upgrading my computer...these are my PC specs:
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 2.01ghz
GPU: ATI Radeon x1950xt 512 MB
Memory: 2GB
OS: Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit
While running pcsx2 I get poor performance in my target game ( Everquest Online Adventures ), the frame rate being between 25-40 fps. This is using the latest beta, and every speed hack enabled and set to max, using ZeroGS.
So, after much reading on the forums I see that pcsx2 is very dependant on the CPU..and my CPU is aging. So my question is, without upgrading anything else, could I get away with replacing my CPU with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ 2.2ghz? Will I reach near full speed rates with that? I'm trying to avoid a full system overhaul, and my current CPU socket is 939 thus my options on CPU's are quite limited.
Thanks for any advice!
