Currently there is no CPU that can run pcsx2 at max. Your best bet is using a very high clocked CPU. Graphics requirements are lower. X1600XT would probably be enough. Minimum specs (for reasonable game play) are as follows for pcsx2: Dual Core 2.4GHz 1GB RAM (2GB will be better) X1600XT Emulators require more from the CPU than the graphics, so upgrading the CPU is the best way to improve frame rate on pcsx2. Any Multi-core CPU that can clock over 3GHz will run the emulator pretty smoothly. It will not max every game on the PS2, but good enough to get every compatible game playable. The only issue is the X1600XT. It is a good Video Card for very light gaming, like older games and emulators. If you plan on playing newer PC games, go for the HD 4850. It was on sale last week for $125 with free shipping and that was without a rebate!!!
is this a good pc to have for gaming Acer Veriton VM420-ED5000C Athlon X2 5000B(2.6GHz) 3GB DDR2 160GB ATI Radeon HD 3200 Windows Vista Business (English/French) - Retail
No, the graphics card is very weak. Prebuilt gaming PCs aren't cheap, the best I could suggest is a Dell XPS420.
It's now been discontinued in favour of the Studio desktop, which will still set you back very little shy of $1000 if you put a decent graphics card in it.
A rather strange series of requests. Perhaps this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811144045 DO NOT use the included power supply though. Very bad idea.
No, you just need a graphics card or adapter with either a VGA or DVI port, which 99% of them do anyway.
i got a pc that my school was giving away because they are old and i was wondering is there some kind of a way that i could tell what kind it is.
Lavalys Everest, CPUZ, Belarc Advisor, there are plenty of apps out there. Directx Diagnostic can tell you a fair bit too.
i need to reformat my pc but i need to transfer my files can i do that with my ethernet cable or do i have to find another method. this is my first time doing it so step by step would be great.
