Small correction. The PS2 has a ~300MHz processor (IIRC), and the reason for the slow speeds is due to the vector units emulation. So it's almost like emulating a triple core machine. My notebook PC runs PCSX2 just fine (see specs below). Runs Devil May Cry and a handful of others at a rock solid 60fps. No one believed it would do the job, but it does. I have yet to reinstall it and try it again after HP serviced it, but so far it runs better than ever.

Trust me on this, RAM is like a penis (as far as consoles are concerned). Size doesn't matter, it's how you use it that counts... literally. Consoles don't need as much RAM as PCs because they generally run only one process (the game and sometimes the dashboard/OS, making it two).
