ram=2gb

Second Comp:
AMD Athlon dual core 2.8ghz
video=nvidia 7600GT
ram=2gb

Third Comp:

All are pretty weak man...

I mean, DC is a start, but AMD's are pretty weak, and graphics card is good though, RAM is enough, but your laptops GFX card is to weak, even if it has a good processor.

Overall, 2D games sure, some minor 3D games will play ,but not always full speed, can only wish you the best.

Full frames in every game that is properly emulated? Try a E8400, they are decently priced and OC to 4.)GHZ. You'll get great speeds in the games that work.

Read the FAQs for more details.

There's no CPU out there can allow you to play everything at full speed.
The recommendations and everything are in the FAQs in the stickies section.

(Threads like this are not really liked by the forum since it's already covered by the FAQs )

You should put your 8800 gpu in the 2.8Ghz cpu... For AMD 2.8Ghz should give you playable speed for FFXII, that only if you pair it with an 8800GT.

tuanming is right, put the 8800gt of your third comp into your second comp, and the 7600gt into the third comp.
and then the second one should be the best one for pcsx2.

that would be the best option
FFX, FFXII and Kingdom Hearts is fully playable with that.
