Perhaps more appropriate a question would be "Does PCSX2 support Pentium 4 processors?" The answer is yes. You may not have very stellar performance running it on a Pentium 4, however.
While you can technically run PCSX2 on it, it is not powerful enough to provide even remotely good performance for most games. The PCSX2 team recommends at least a Core 2 Duo and a GeForce 8800.
Yes. The Windows version of PCSX2 runs on Windows XP.
Legally, PCSX2 requires you to have a PlayStation 2 for two reasons, one as a license to play PlayStation 2 games, and the other for you to dump the BIOS from, as PCSX2 requires a copy of the PlayStation 2 BIOS. Once you have PCSX2 running, however, there is no technical reason you need a PlayStation 2.
The PCSX2 on your Mac keeps saying invalid unpack type because it is corrupt.
There is no Pentium 5 processor. The mainstream (non-budget) Pentium line ends with the Pentium D, which is essentially a dual-core Pentium 4. The Core Solo, Core Duo, Core 2 Duo, and Core 2 Quad all have a very different architecture from the Pentium 4.
A Pentium 4 is really limited in it's ability to run PCSX2 at a decent speed. The reason is that the Pentium 4 is a single-cored processor. If your processor supports it, make sure Hyperthreading is enabled. If your Pentium 4 support EM64T (64-bit), try running a 64-bit operating system as well.
Pentium 4s were available in Socket 423, Socket 478, and LGA 775.
The 3.2 GHz processor is slightly better. Please note that all 3.2 GHz Pentium 4s support Hyperthreading, so the 3.2 GHz isn't in any way disadvantaged.
There were a few laptops that used Pentium 4s. However, Pentium 4s generated too much heat and drew too much power for them to be practical.
This depends on the motherboard / chipset, not the processor. Most Pentium 4s of that speed / era would probably only support DDR RAM.
PCSX2 does not support PlayStation emulation. That's what PCSX is for.
All members of the "Model 15" family are Pentium 4s or based on a Pentium 4 core, so yes.
No. The Pentium II is much older than an Athlon XP 3200, by about six years. The Athlon XP was designed to compete with early Pentium 4s.
All Pentium 4s are single-core, so I'm not sure where you're getting "2 CPU" from. This may come from later Pentium 4s' use of HyperThreading, which is presented to the operating system as two processors, though only consisting of one.
All Pentium 4 processors support SSE2.
Will a Socket 478 Pentium 4 fit in an LGA775 socket?No. The pinout is totally different. Technically, LGA775 is not even a socket. The LGA775 actually has the pins sticking UP, and the processor is flat.Will an LGA775 Pentium 4 work in an LGA775 socket?Yes. However, support for Pentium 4s was discontinued in the P35 and later chipsets.Are there adapters to fit a Socket 478 Pentium 4 into an LGA775 socket?Yes. These are expensive, though, making it much more worthwhile to purchase an LGA775 P4 in the first place.
Yes. The GA-6BXC can support any Slot 1 Intel Pentium II or Pentium III processor. For the faster Pentium IIIs, you will need to purchase a "slotket" to convert a Socket 370 processor to the Slot 1 interface.
