Without knowing the exact error messages and the specs of your video card, I would say that it is the video card that's too weak. Perhaps someone else could give you a second opinion. Also, I have no experience with Vista, maybe you need new drivers but the general thing here is that integrated graphics aren't good enough for this kind of high level emulation.

2 sticks of 512Mb ram aren't going to cut it either as Vista will be eating most of that on its own, before you even start trying to run any software.
You don't mention the processor but a fast dual core is currently the recommended spec for playable framerates.

Recommended minimum specs for playable performance with PCSX2 are currently:

Fast Dual Core processor
2Gb+ Ram
reasonably decent current gen GPU ideally with 256Mb or more dedicated ram.

Ah, I missed that fact somehow. And sure, that is the first problem! :p
