If you download the PS2 bios illegally, you are breaking the law. Courts around the world have ruled that businesses and individuals can be prosecuted for illegal downloading.

Yea i have an acer aspire 8930G and the cooling system is probably the best among laptops. Both cores stay around 40C after like 8-10hrs of using pcsx2.
Also to stay on topic, i've played lots of games like persona 3/4, shadow hearts 2, final fantasy XII, suikoden V, all at 50-60fps. Whether you can finish the games however will depend how compatible they are with pcsx2. Cuz i know some of the games i listed like suikoden V have crashes/freezes. Sometimes tho, in certain places like those silver/gold enemies in persona 4 will cause MASSIVE lag. However my cpu is 2 ghz only and since you have 2.4ghz, you should be better off than me.

I think it all comes down to the person playng the game, if he/she can tolerate some slowdowns in certain games. My laptop's specs aren't top of the line and i have a lot of framerate issues on certain games like with MGS3 (which runs around 20-40 fps) and KH2 when you have to fight the 1000 heartless in hallow bastion (ran about 15-20) but do i care , heck no. Also we have speed hacks which helps us plenty, so yeah that laptop can run pcsx2 and pretty much all the compatible games. Now the question is can you tolerate the slow speed in games?

it doesn't run faster, but it spreads out the threads better sometimes, and software rendering with 4 threads is nice
