The only thing I think eeds to be changed would be the card. You seem to have good RAM and a great processor, but the card realy brings the system down. I would say get the 128mb model 9200pro

Well if you are going to get some video card for cheap the 9200 128 model would be the way to go. You can always upgrade on the card later which is a nice thing. So when the, lets say 9700pro price drops and you can find it than it would be a nice upgrade choice.

The extra RAM for the price is really worth it. 128mb does make a difference.

No. I meant the RAM on the video card. 512 MB of RAM is fine for emulation. Actually it is great!
