Your computer will run that easily.

I only have 6Gb RAM and a duo 1.5Ghz processor, and it runs at full speed.

It does work thanks. I've wanted to play this agian. Playing with the keyboard is a pain. What controller works with PSX 1.13 ?(XBOX360?)

Consider buying a cheap GFX because that PC is a monster!!No kidding with that configuration and a 1 GB gfx you'll be able to play pcsx2 (PS2) games on your pc with normal speed.

Really? I've been reading on these forums that i need a dual core CPU. I don't know anything about graphics cards. (PCI Express,Installation,Specs to look for.) The PC is a Lenovo K330b

Checking the device manager under "processors" it has Intel Core i3-2100CPU @ 3.10ghz Assuming I'm reading it right. would it run slow on Intel HD Graphics 2000?

Which one of these would work best. Not knowing what I should be looking for the EVGA specs look more impressive.

Consider buying Nvidia GeForce GT240.Those graphics require a lot of power.This one is only 6 watt on idle and 40 watt in gaming.
+It's cheap and has good performance in games.

I checked Nvidia's site the GeForce GT240 minimium power usage is 300. My power supply is 280w?

No,no,no.
Check this out:
It?s also a very good spec - 40nm fab process,
550MHz core, with 1360MHz shaders, and 512MB of
2000MHz GDDR5 memory, 96 CUDA cores. All this
for a maximum power draw of 70W.
