Are you using speedhacks? Those can cause false FPS? If not,

does this happen with other games? It's quite possible it's a game-specific problem.

----------------------------------------------------------------

The EE stands for "EmotionEngine" which you could think of as the PS2's processor. This uses 2 cores of your CPU.

Still, it shouldn't be causing any slowdown unless it gets near 100% and you start getting less than 60 FPS.

What PCSX2 version are you using? r4600? Are you using the default plugins? Did you change any of the emulation settings? Are you playing on native resolution? Could you possibly try with a non-Electronic Arts game (assuming "NSFU" would be Need For Speed Underground?)?

to fix the sound you can try to configure the soundplugin...it´s the option Synchronizing Mode...but as you can read there...it may break games...
i used that option when my old computer(dualcore@2,4ghz) was nearly dying when doing fancy attacks in ff-x so i chose that option and the attack sounds were normal, but the game was very slow at these points

-------------------

just start pcsx2 and look at the first line at the log the version and revision number are in green ^^

if it isn't 60fps on NTSC and 50fps on PAL there's something wrong. If it's locked at those but still slow click F4 and the fps will rise to about 80-90 but the actual fps will still stick around 50-60 range

PCSX2 settings? plugin settings? Any speedhacks enabled?
