Because PCSX2 uses about 200-300mb of RAM. This is less than most games. So as long as you have free ram for PCSX2 to work, it will work fine. If you have 1 GB of RAM, you should have at least about ~300mb free (since if you didn't everything would be so slow even Windows would be unusable). If you have that amount of RAM free, PCSX2 doesn't care if you have 100 GB of RAM or anything like that.

If you mean the indicator in the PCSX2/GSdx window it means you're limited by your graphics card, if it's in task manager it's your CPU.

because my FPS when playing games are at 20-30 only
and my CPU and VC is under the playable speed compatibility list
so im thinking its my ram thats making my game run slowly right?
im playing legend of legia 2 btw.

*if your using XP your ram is enough..if your in vista/7 it needs 2Gs since most enviorment resources is used on windows
*if you want Legaia 2's good speeds you need to be at Vista/7 via DX10 because that game hates DX9 especially your good cpu and gpu

My PC that uses only 1 GB RAM can run well especially with the PS2 CD-ROM games. Yet these cd-rom games uses low or medium poly graphics, so using 1 GB ram at least have no problem at all when using this emulator. Also, my PC can run smooth with the DVD game, Devil May Cry 3. It's ok to run but the graphics is looks like have some glitches.
