First, your specs may still not be enough for this series. It's pretty demanding on PCSX2 and your cpu is a lower speed one plus it's a laptop. You'll want some horsepower for these games. Not to mention the heat problems you can have with heavier games maxing out your hardware.
Second, you can try downloading the latest SVN build *Can be unstable but I've had no problems so far* http://buildbot.orphis.net/pcsx2/ and see if your games benefit from the MTVU hack under emulation settings and then speedhacks, since you have a quad core. *however it can break/slow games* It doesn't look like anyones tested this with these games yet so give it a shot and let me know how you go.
Third, please show me some screenshots of your GSDX settings you end up using and post what your EE and GS usage ends up being on your best performing setup.

For the most part, most of them wouldn't even load, rather completely crashed the Emulator.
A short while ago I found that changing the VideoGS settings to (Software) instead of
(Hardware) fixed all of that.
However, there were a few games that didn't work no matter what I did...
and I can't figure out what I could do to change the settings without jeopardizing
the functionality of the rest of my games or completely alter the function of the actual
Emulator.
Anyways, with "Midnight Club I" I get it to work between the initial opening and then to the
selection screen. However, as soon as I try to enter a race, cruise, or what have you
the whole thing crashes. Anyone with a solution would be great.
Also, I get a very similar scenario with "Midnight Club II", though with that one it doesn't
load past the Title Screen. These games are precisely why I wanted a PS2 Emulator
in the first place. (I actually still own a PS2, but I'm thinking about travel convenience)
I am working with a MacBook Pro 2011 running BootCamp. (So yes, it's running the Native
Windows 7 and is actually quite fast.)
Also, "Midnight Club 3"(Extended) works a little better than I and II, but it does crash after a short while
and runs rather slow even when it IS running. It then relays a message (Hardware Incompatible... something--- Only game this happens to.)
