Will it emulate at full speed? - Protokiller - 02-13-2010

I have:

Core 2 Duo 3.2GHz (6mb L2 cache, 1600mhz fsb)
8800GS
Win 7
2.5GB Ram
7200RPM hdd.

I know that these emulators are cpu crunchers, but will it run good on a fast dual core?

Most of the games will run at full speed Big Grin

Out of interest, which makes more difference to the emulation speed, the CPU or the GPU? Eg would a decent core 2 duo with a weakish gfx card do better or worse than an older processor such as a athlon64 x2 with the latest and greatest from ATI or nvidia?

CPU, use a good CPU + any nvidia or ATI GPU

CPU makes most differences, graphic card is only displaying image on the screen.

How well does it run on your E2180? I have a spare PC with one of those.

Hmm.... not good enough, I want to change my CPU but I don't have money yet Tongue
