==================================================

So, wondering whether or not your computer is good for PCSX2? or will it emulates fast?
or want to buy a good PC which is recommended, but don't know which one?

Well, read through this thread for a list of recommended processors+graphic cards for your PC.

==================================================
NOTE: The contents from this guide is originally from PCSX2's site.
I only post it here(with permission of course :P), and with little changes/additions.
==================================================

Will my game work?

If you have reasonable specs to those posted below but want to know if your game works, check out the PCSX2's Compatibility List.
Make sure to use the Key as indicator to know how each games works on PCSX2, if it Playable, then you can play it from start until the end,
but, that doesn't mean there will be no issues though.

==================================================

Processors:

Won't work or barely do anything:

• Intel Pentium
• Intel Pentium II
• AMD Athlon (non-XP)
• AMD Thunderbird
• AMD Duron

Will work, but very slowly, possible problems:

• Intel Pentium III
• Intel Celeron (any P3 and above series)
• AMD Athlon XP
• AMD Sempron
• AMD Turion
• AMD APU C-**, E-***, Z-01, E2-3**, A4-3***

Will work without compatibility problems, but will run slowly:

• AMD Athlon 64 Single Core
• AMD Opteron Single Core
• AMD Athlon FX Single Core
• Intel Pentium IV (4)
• Intel Pentium D - Probably works best in this group
• Intel Pentium M (Dothan)

Will work at a reasonably playable speed (this does not mean full speed):

• AMD Athlon FX Dual Core
• AMD Opteron Dual Core
• AMD Athlon X2 (and Turion laptop equivalent)
• AMD Phenom
• AMD Phenom II
• AMD APU A6- 3***, A8-3***
• Intel Core 2 Duo (and laptop Core Duo equivalent)
• Intel Core 2 Quad
• Intel Core i 5
• Intel Core i 7

Laptop Processors:

It is not recommend to use any laptop to run the emulator unless otherwise mentioned above, if it supports SSE2 then it may work.
If it does not have SSE2 then it is likely it will be extremely slow and have compatibility problems.

==================================================

Graphics Cards:

Won't work (or very unlikely to) - Maybe possible with GSDX Software Mode (V. Slow):

• Geforce 3 or below
• Geforce 4 MX series - confirmed to be working but very slowly
• ATi Radeon 8xxx series and below
• ATi Radeon 9100
• Most onboard graphics cards (excluding the GeForce 61X0 series and 5200 Go)

Will work but require GSDX - Very poor performance:

• Radeon 9200 - Reported to work with ZeroGS too!
• Radeon 9250
• Intel GMA950 - confirmed to work
• Geforce 4

Will work on both graphics plugins, but possibly poor performance

• Radeon 9500 to 9800 series
• Radeon X300 to X8x0 series
• Geforce 5200 (Go included) to 6500 series (also including
• Geforce 61x0 onboard series)
• Geforce 7100

Will work at a reasonable to very good level of speed with both plugins:

• Geforce 6600 series and above (excluding above mentioned)
• ATi Radeon X1300 series and above - need confirmation for X1300

==================================================

Recommended Processors:

• Intel Core 2 Duo / Core i3 @ 3.2Ghz or faster
• Intel Core i5 / i7 @ 2.66Ghz or faster
• AMD Phenom II / Athlon II (X2, X3 or X4) @ 3.4Ghz or faster

Recommended VGA cards:

• Nvidia Geforce 9600GT / 8800GT or better
• ATI Radeon 4750 or better

Other Hardware Recommendations:

512 mb or above of System Memory:

• Windows XP With Service Pack 3
• Windows 2000
• Windows XP 64 With Service Pack 1

1 GB or above of System Memory:

• Windows Vista 32/64
• Windows 7 32/64
