It starts up fine, but as soon as the intro starts, the FPS takes a dip to about 16 and it's juts unbearable. I think I've ticked everything I can to adjust the speed. Here's my setup, and bear in mind that I'm not that computer savvy. Any help would be appreciated. I figured my rig would have been enough to handle this, as I just want to play this one game.
Intel Core 2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40 ghz

SotC needs quite a system to run properly. get the latest beta of pcsx2 and plugins from this forum and post your configuration of pcsx2 and your plugins, preferably as screenshots. i'm able to run this game at playable speeds with a very similar system to yours, but i don't know how much difference the 600mhz clock speed of the cpu makes.

Okay, I DL'ed all of that and ran it again, but it's the same thing happening. DirectX is updated...i don't know. Under the graphics tab in config, it has a lot more options. Either Gsdx 890 or 1479 and choises between those of either SSE2, 3 or 4. I have no clue about these things.

Well, after switching to those things, the FPS went up to about 19 and would sometimes spike to 24. I really appreciate the help, man, but I don't know what else to do. I thought for sure I'd have a good enough rig for this. This is the only game I want to play as well.
