I have the doubt in what is more important, the CPU or the Graphic card.
PC #1:
Intel Core 2 Duo T7600 2.33GHz, 4MB Cache
NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 256MB
1GB DDR2 667MHz (512MB x2)
PC #2:
2.00ghz CPU Core 2 duo
256MB NVIDIA® GeForce™ 7900 GS graphics card, PCI-Express x16
2 GIG DDR Memory
Which one do you think would work better with PCSX2?
Thanks for the help!!!!  |
I'd personally recommend the second one. A 2.00 GHZ Core 2 should be able to emulate the CPU of the PS2 at full spped (I think), and the 7900 will do the graphics much better than the 7600.

Not as important as the Videocard? I thought it was the reverse...  |
It really depends on what games you like to play, and the amount of graphics they require. The GPU is specialized, so it's about 10 times more powerful than a CPU. But if you aren't using the graphics to the full, then you're just wasting money. A Core 2 Duo in itself is just so powerful that it's frivolous to worry about a minor MHZ difference.
I can get away with crappy graphics because I mostly play older games and newer games that run on a 945G, and whenever I want to play brand new games I can usually don't mind having it look like crap. But looking at Oblivion screenshots on an 8800... *sigh*
