The 4200 is a game killer. My secondary laptop has a 4250 and gives me similarly poor results with PCSX2... The best you can hope for is to either use software mode (which will likely be too much for your CPU) or hope for the best with native resolution set... Many 2d games should be able to work, but I wouldn't get my hopes up for anything greater than that.

Alright, well I'm gonna try running persona 4 and see how that goes. Otherwise I'm gonna have to borrow a ps2 and beat it that way. Thanks

Does anybody have any experience how well the emulator runs with a great CPU but mediocre GPU. I'm just too excited since I can finally get to play some PS2 games again. The games that I want to play well are Suikoden 5, Final Fantasy 12, and Final fantasy X-2
I ordered this prebuilt PC and it's coming in a week.
Intel Core i7-2600 Quad-Core 3.4GHz
6GB DDR3
1TB RAID 0 (2 x 500GB SATA HDDs)
1GB NVIDIA GeForce 405 w/ HDMI
I plan on replacing the 405 with my current ATI Radeon 3870. I want to wait a few months for the price of a high end GPU to go on sale since I'm in no rush. There should be a great one on sale by the time Battlefield 3/Guild wars 2 come out

Not even sure what a GeForce 405 is... I see no mention of it anywhere... but since you're replacing it with the 3870 I can tell you that it will play almost all PS2 games fine at scale 2x and possibly 3x without issue.

If I were to upgrade both the CPU and the graphics card and couldn't get both at the same time, which should I upgrade first?

So this is my system setup:
4gb ram
Radeon HD 6850
AMD Phenom II quad core 3.2ghz
So im messing around with it now and its consistently dropping below 50 fps in Final Fantasy 10 (I can definetly sacrifice graphics for consistent 50 fps, are there any specific settings I need or perhaps 0.9.6 will run it better?
