PCSX2 Lag - Direct3D9 (Software)

[NoName95]

My Specs:

CPU: AMD Athlon II X3 435 Triple Core, 2.91 GHz
RAM: 3GB DDR2
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 210, 1GB, DDR2
OS: Windows XP Professional SP2

so to say the problem, when I want to play a game on PCSX2 and I use GSDX 3693, if I play in Direct3D9 (Hardware) it works flawless but it has graphics bugs, and if I'm playing that game in Direct3D9 (Software) it lags badly, why? it's my processor or video card? I use XP and not Vista or 7? how to fix the lag? please help me quickly

Not all games work in hardware mode(not all work in software either), the difference is in hardware mode the graphics are handled by the gpu which is obviously faster but it is less compatible. Software mode puts all on the cpu and is much slower in almost all cases.
