    Default Emulating PS2 on a i3 2.53GHz TOSHIBA Laptop

    Hello,

    My Laptop is now 3 GB of RAM...
    and GPU is ATI 512 MB...

    Is this true that if I increased the RAM I will have faster speed in PCSX2 as increasing RAM increases the GPU?

    I am asking you before I waste my money on that....

    What if I increased it to 8 GB RAM....

    Nah no, RAM doesn't have any effect on PCSX2 performance, only your CPU and GPU.

    Yes, but does increasing RAM really increases GPU?

    Nope, it doesn't. Black Citadel's post was clear enough. And get a Desktop, much better when playing such resource-consuming emulators.

    OK, can I replace the existing GPU of the laptop to a 1 GB or something?

    Doubt it.

    Most laptops have integrated GPUs.

    My laptop has specs above and beyond yours and PCSX2 laughs at it.

    Your only solution is to get a decent desktop.

    Don't take my word for it, but I'd say it's not the first time BlackCitadel asks this exact same question...

    EDIT: Oh yeah, it's his monthly post asking the same

    I do understand, but the fact that I forgot that I asked about this before.

    Well if you ask me RAM upgrade (you need 64-bit system to use more than 4GB) will speed up laptop GPU a bit but adding something like 0.5% power to weak laptop GPU still gives you weak laptop GPU also your CPU is well... shitty and overclocking isn't an option.

    I normally don't. To people who use common sense.
