My mistake. I thought this cpu was simply the non-k version of Llano chip. For laptops, there is really nothing you can do. You are almost better off replacing a laptop vs upgrading when it comes to costs involved.

Just look at my sig and get that for good price/performance ratio. Or get a Kaveri APU when it comes out. You'll save some money doing that.

Laptop user here. I am trying to play Shadow of Collossus from ISO. It runs, but not as nice as some older rigs on youtube. I pretty much downloaded PCSX2 and used default everything. Here are my specs:

1 - that CPU is weak for pcsx2 and you'll probably get a hard time running most games @ playable Fps.
2 - that GPU isn't great either, but should be enough to play @ native as long as this is not a GPU demanding game.
3 - don't trust youtube videos. they will always play @ full speed even if the user had an average 3 fps when he recorded his gameplay.
4 - SOTC is one of most demanding games under pcsx2 (remember it even lagged on your PS2 ?) luckily, Vu cycle stealing speedhack may help a lot in this game.
5 - If you want further support about this game on your laptop, create your own thread, please

which processor is best to run Pcsx2, AMD FX4300 or Core I3 3240?
Reply
It's kind of a toss up. The FX4300 has 4 real cores(but PCSX2 will only use 2, or 3 with MTVU hack). The i3 has 2 cores and 2 HT cores, but much faster single threaded performance.

If you are willing to overclock the FX 4300 will likely be faster with MTVU. Otherwise the i3 will be faster.
