gpu : dolphin is more relaxed on this for me

Checkout my latest project ( it is a program that downloads and compiles dolphin on mac and linux now): http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu-downloader (It's unofficial and maintained by me, not the dolphin dev team)

well...it depends on the games like naoan said but I have no issues running demanding games like dq8. If you run the games at native they will be fugly. But overall on my personal experience between the two I have a easier time with pcsx2

thats not necessarily true and depends on the game

Well I know damn well GC is not nearly as heavy graphically. Sorry, love my nintendo games, but you know its true. However pcsx2 will run a lot better on a med to high end Gpu. Dolphin on the other hand. Slight changes to my cpu have made worlds of increases in frames.

referring to my personal experience, pcsx2 is much lighter as long as you have a dedicated grafx card, i've done many comparisons. also when i switched to dedicated card i got massivistic speed boost in pcsx2 while i hardly got anything in dolphin...
also in game comparisons between games for both platforms. here are my tests:
(sonic unleashed) pcsx2:45-60fps dolphin:10-18fps(half speed)
(DBZ BT3) pcsx2:50-60fps no frameskip dolphin:30-40fps
but there WERE results where dolphin won:
Bakugan pcsx2:40-60fps(unbearable glitches) dolphin:60-100fps(720p)
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ 2.40GHz
3GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 8600GTS
AsRock NF6P-VSTA mobo
Windows 7 Ultimate x86
Dolphin on YouTube
