Here are some tips, how you can play Perfect Dark 64 on older computer, and still run it 100% on fullscreen and all:

1. Get PJ64-emulator, version 1.6:
http://www.pj64-emu.com/
2. Use Jabo's Direct 3D8 1.6 graphics plugin
3. Use Azimer's HLE Audio soundplugin, it is great and doesn't use resourses
4. Change Perfect Dark's ROM settings:
CPU core: Recompiler
Memory Size: 8mb
Advanced Block Linking: ON
Counter Factor: 1
Check the following boxes:
Larger Compile Buffer
Register Caching
Use TLB
Delay SI Interrupt

5. Check Audioplugin settings:
Check the Dynamic Audio Sync AND Emulate/Simulate AI

6. Adjust your graphics plugin:
I can put all the graphics to the top, ALL OF THEM, and still play on fullscreen, with all simulants, in singleplayer map, with 4 players, and NO LAG at all. Just make sure of this: Check the "advanced" tab, and ONLY check the "Copy Framebuffer to RDRAM".

7. Play the game, and enjoy.

IMPORTANT!
Click your ROM in ROM diresctory with your second mouse button, you can then access to "edit game settings", if these settings are different than in your options screen, then the emulator will use these, even if you changed them from /options/settings, and will overrule those.

Notes:
During Screening, I had to turn some options off, but without it, I can run this game perfectly all the time. There was 8 simulants and I in solo villa, with briefcase.

My computer:
Athlon 64 3700+ Boxed
X1800 GTO PCIE 256M
1GB of memory
I use 1280x1024 resolution, or higher.

Minimum System Specification for PJ64:
(with nowadays plugins, you can run lighter games, like Mario64 even with P2 400mhz easily, but Perfect Dark takes little more)

Intel Pentium 3 700mhz/AMD Athlon 800mhz
128 MB system RAM
200 MB free HD space
20MB extra HD space for some games
DirectX7 compatible video, sound and input devices
Windows 98, but better for 2000/XP
Some plugins need DX8, so watch out for them, if you are using Voodoo 1 or 2, Matrox G200, nVidia Riva128, S3 Savage 4, Intel i740 or ATI Rage128.
