Well... Technically your right you do need a powerhouse to run it as a ps2 uses the emotion drive. the ps2 also has 5 count em 5 separate prossers the the emotion drive accesses simultainously, which is why it takes so much power to run it at a reasonable frame rate. the right plugins and settings can help, but power is definatly needed. most of my 3D's run at a framerate of about 35 to 70 Fps which is good enough for me anyway. Kf tac or armored core can get a little sluggish if there are alot of moving mecha or enemies. but it takes quite a few to cause this and even with this the game is still playable, just a little jittery. all the ace combats work perfect no matter whats on screen even if your buzzing the ground! although it does seem that earlyer ps2 games have more trouble with this. my ps2 model is the 30004r (the slim one) series and its bios seems to be far more compatible with more games.
