Hi, I read that PCSX2 performance is more CPU dependent than GPU dependent. How GPU dependent is the performance? I'm considering getting a new notebook soon and I'm wondering whether to get a low end (Radeon HD 3470 / GeForce 9300M GS) video card or a mid range (Radeon HD 3670 / GeForce 9600M GT) video card. Do I need a mid range card to have decent (50-60fps) performance or will it run fine on the low end card?
Thanks for your help.

Depends on the game.Usually an 9600GT is enough for most but that's a desktop pc card so the laptop counterpart would be somehow slower.But in general,get the fastest processor your money can buy and a mid range gfx card

Yes it can but very slow. First your cpu is not good enough, try with OC. that can help you. Second you have lack of ram, add more ram minimal 2giga (since ram is very cheap now) or 4giga for better and play pcsx2 with vista ultimate 32/64bit sp.1. Thrid i didnt see your grapich card, so i assume you didnt have, please buy grapich card with minimal 8600gt for nvidia or HD4670 for ATI. Try pcsx2 0.95 or playground.
