moores law no longer applies actually.

Isn't this the requirements?

Minimum
* Windows/Linux OS
* CPU that supports SSE2 (Pentium 4 and up, Athlon64 and up)
* GPU that supports Pixel Shaders 2.0
* 512mb RAM
Recommended
* Windows Vista 32bit/64bit
* CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo @ 3.2ghz or better
* GPU: 8600gt or better
* 1gb RAM (2gb if on Vista)

I have more than recommended
*I have windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
*I have AMD Phenom II X2 @ 3.6GHz
*I have Graphics 9600GSO Verto 768MB GDDR3 192BIT memory interface
* I have 5gigs of ddr3






So what is wrong with pcsx2? What else do I need?

a better CPU.
those recommended requirements are for some games, but some others will require more than the recommended requirements you quoted
The games you're trying to run are probable quite intensive.

In addition, pcsx2 became more demanding with newer revisions since it renders more things more accurately.

the 1.0.0 have less speed than 0.9.8 !

well i haven't fully tested it ...

not really.
but AFAIK, those "recommended settings" were estabvlished at the time 0.9.6 was out.

and 0.9.8 is slower but more accurate than 0.9.6 and 0.9.7

I am trying to play gran turismo games for ps2 ( I have ps3 but I miss the ps2 version also so I tried pcsx2 with not working right). and some other car games like fast and the furious Tokyo drift.

GT series are very demanding, dunno about TR. But I guess it's the same.
Better keep playing them on your Ps2 intil you can afford a better, modern, PC.

But I sold my ps2 after I got my ps3 and now I miss some of my ps2 games. I don't feel like wasting $99 for a slim or like $20 for a used ps2 that I will throw away later. I know I will sell my ps3 too when ps4 comes out. My ps3 isn't backwards compatible its the slim version ps3.

don't have a ps2 then you don't have the bios then it's not right to play pcsx2
