-===CPU Requirements===
+}}
-Intel CPUs or AMD Phenom II CPUs work better with PCSX2 than AMD FX ones. My personal recommendation is that the CPU have a clock rate of at least 3.5 GHz (Intel and AMD Phenom II) and 4 GHz (AMD FX), as long as there are at least 2 cores for either processor. These clock rates, coupled with VU Cycle stealing will seriously help the game achieve 30 frames-per second or higher.
+==CPU Requirements==
+The game's performance varies significantly depending on the CPU being used to run it. PCSX2 runs better on Intel CPUs than AMD CPUs, and this should be the ultimate factor that decides ''Shadow'''s emulation quality. Here are my personal recommendations when deciding what CPU to run the game on. Remember, PCSX2 runs on two cores, so a dual-core processor or higher is mandatory.
+===Intel Processors===
+Because Intel Processors run better, they are definitely the recommended option, but Intel CPUs are also very expensive, so if you're short of cash, a very fast AMD Processor can offer you a decent performance at a half the price.
+If you plan to use an Intel-Core CPU, here are my recommendations:
+*A Quad-Core Processor with a clock rate of up to 3.7 GHz or higher
+*A Dual-Core Processor with a clock rate of up to 4.0 GHz or higher
+Either of these two options, coupled with the appropriate VU Cycle Stealing Setting will run the game at the best quality.
+==AMD Processors ===
+Since AMD Processors are cheaper and more ideal for Gaming PC's, they may be the ideal choice for many PCSX2 users and PC gamers. If this is the case, I'd strongly recommend the following:
+*An AMD FX Quad-Core/Eight-Core Processor with a clock rate of up to 4.0 GHz
+This kind of CPU, coupled with the appropriate VU Cycle Stealing setting will easily achieve up to 30 Frames-Per-Second or slightly higher.
