No, the PS2 is a weak 500mhz machine, with a crappy graphics card.

BUT to emulate that weak machine, u will need a very powerful 6ghz+ cpu.

This is becuase the PC and PS2 are copmpletely different, and for a command on the PS2 to be emulated onto the PC, it becomes way more complicated. So it takes a lot more power to emulate a machine that how strong the machine actually is. + the computer cpu has to emulate both the PS2 cpu and gpu.

Oh, also, the PS2 gpu also has to be almost completely emulated by the computer cpu, putting extra strain on the PC cpu.

An example is the N64. the actual thing had, if i remember correctly, something like a 26 or 50mhz cpu (EDIT: actually 94mhz). But to emulate it, u will need like a 500+mhz computer. To emulate it perfectly, u will need 1.5ghz.


So yeah, the PS2 doesn't have a monster gpu. it has a peice of poo poo only slightly better than modern integrated graphics.

And the PS3 has a gpu that uses the same architecture as a 7900gtx. Which means your 2x8800gtx should be way stronger than the PS3 gpu.

It's just that consoles like the PS3 are designed for playing games, and thus is lot more efficient at it thatn a PC. An identical gpu on the PS3 can crank out graphics a lot better than the same gpu on a PC could.
