Even though clock speed is one of the main factors for smooth PCSX2 emulation, clock speed is not the determining meter of success with PCSX2. Newer CPUs generally tend to perform better than the old ones using the same frequency. For example, a 2.4 GHz dual-core Intel Core 2 processor will generally outperform a 3.2 GHz dual-core Intel Pentium D processor. Even though the Pentium D is clocked higher, the Core 2 Duo is faster due to the Core microarchitecture of the Core 2 Duo being more efficient than the Netburst of microarchitecture of the Pentium D. | Even though clock speed is one of the main factors for smooth PCSX2 emulation, clock speed is not the determining meter of success with PCSX2.

Below are the minimum and recommended requirements to run PCSX2 | Below are the minimum and recommended requirements to run PCSX2: | ||
'''Minimum (most games will be unplayable slow)''' | |||
* Windows/Linux OS | |||
* CPU: Any that supports SSE2 (Pentium 4 and up, Athlon64 and up) | |||
* GPU: Any that supports Pixel Shader model 2.0, except Nvidia FX series (broken SM2.0, too slow anyway) | |||
* 512MB RAM (note Vista needs at least 2GB to run reliably) | |||
'''Recommended''' | |||
* Windows Vista / Windows 7 (32bit or 64bit) with the latest DirectX | |||
* CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo @ 3.2 GHz or better OR i3/i5/i7 @ 2,8 GHz or better OR AMD Phenom II @ 3,2 GHz or better | |||
* GPU: 8800gt or better (for Direct3D10 support) | |||
