    Does anyone know if the Intel x3100 will be able to handle Dreamcast and PS2 games?

    I ran Gran Turismo 4 on my desktop 8800 GTX very well :)

    PS2, ABSOLUTELY NOT. You need quite a powerful dedicated GPU among other powerful components to emulate it.

    Dreamcast, probably. I've seen videos of a Dreamcast emulator running decently to my huge surprise even on an Asus EEE when it cannot even render properly on my Vaio TZ.

    The Intel X3100 is NOTHING compared to the Geforce 8800 GTX.

    How does one even emulate a Dreamcast? It is one of my favorite consoles ever, but I couldn't figure out how to get Chankast to work.

    Thanks, I will try it. I would love to play powerstone again.

    How would I get the games for XBOX or the Dreamcast? Do I have to make custom dumps yada yada using purchased CDs?

    You can either buy the original CD and you should buy the CD.
