will my pcsx2 run without any problem such as lag or low fps?
Of course not.

You may want to read the sticky thread "Will PCSX2 run fast on my computer?". You'll find it on top of this section.
is the problem my processor or my VGA?
both, might be able to get away with some of the less demanding games, event then would think you gona need to use speed hacks to keep from slowdowns
then i have no choice but to change my specs
btw i want to ask which is more important for using pcsx2, good processor with moderate vga or good vga with moderate processor?
PCSX2 is far more CPU demanding then GPU demanding so go with an new i5 cpu and a moderate gpu. Can spend about $100 or less on a gpu and still be able to use 4x no problem.
ok, thanks for the assist Smile
