You probably will get some slowdowns, but the games would still be playable. You wouldn't get full speed all the time, but it would still be fine. Remember: I'm talking about a computer with 128MB and a Radeon.

I tested ePSXe with a Pentium233MMX, 32MB RAM, 1MB onboard video card, and it ran about 40fps with sound disabled. When sound was enabled, I could get only 20-25fps.

As I didn't have a 3D accelerator(just a 1MB onboard), I had to use a software plugin. I tried both Pete's and Kazzuya's soft plugins, and the second one seemed a bit faster.

If you get a Radeon, then I'm sure you'll be able to use 3D acceleration, like Pete's D3D, Pete's OpenGL, or Nickk's plugins.
