What specs on a PC, in terms of cpu, graphics card and memory, would match a PS2 in terms of smooth gameplay? I have an xp2000 with 256mb Ram and a Radeon 9200. The good news is I am getting an xp2500 which I will overclock to match an xp3000, and 512 mb ddr400. All this on an Asus A7N8X motherboard. I realise my Radeon 9200 isnt the greatest, but surely the above setup will match a PS2 for performance?

I hate the fact that every time you want to play a game you practically have to become a geek and check out all the specs, tweak this, download that, buy this. With a ps2 you just stick it in and it works. I played a demo of fifa 2004 on my pc and it was jerking in places.

Any advice out there?
