    So, I read on different forums / Posts that the R2 could handle pcsx2 quite nicely.
    So I did try it out, but running really slowly.
    The Nvidia GPU is in use, SSE4 and directx 10 (hardware) also...
    Strange thing is, in task manager the CPU is only using like 30-40%.
    Any ideas?

    Of course you need to tweak it, otherwise you need a 3+GHz Core2Duo to run games at least. Just enable speed hacks and mess around with some other settings. Google for those options.
