# Project details
The PCSX2 project has been running for more than ten years. Once only able to run a few public domain demos, recent versions enable many games to work at full speed, including popular titles such as *Final Fantasy X* or *Devil May Cry 3*. Visit the *[PCSX2 homepage](http://pcsx2.net)* to check the latest compatibility status of games (with more than 2000 titles tested), or ask your doubts in the *[Official forums](http://forums.pcsx2.net/)*.

## Minimum
* OS: Windows or GNU/Linux
* CPU: Any that supports SSE2 (Pentium 4 and up, Athlon64 and up)
* GPU: Any that supports Pixel Shader model 2.0, except Nvidia FX series (broken SM2.0, too slow anyway)
* GPU: Any that supports Pixel Shader model 2.0, except Nvidia FX series (broken Shader Model 2.0, too slow anyway)
* 512MB RAM (Note: Vista and up needs at least 2GB to run reliably)
## Recommended
* OS: Windows Vista/7/8/8.1/10 (32-bit or 64-bit) with the [latest DirectX](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109) or GNU/Linux
* CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo @ 3.2ghz or better
* GPU: 8800gt or better (for Direct3D10 support)
* CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo (or AMD equivalent) @ 3.2ghz or better
* GPU: Nvidia 8800GT (or AMD equivalent) or better (for Direct3D10/11 support)
* RAM: 1GB on Linux/Windows XP, 2GB or more on Vista and up
**Note**: Because of copyright issues, and the complexity of trying to work around it, you need a BIOS dump extracted from a legitimately-owned PlayStation 2 console to use the emulator.
**Note:** PCSX2 mainly takes advantage of 2 CPU cores. As of r4865 PCSX2 can now take advantage of a 3rd core using the MTVU speedhack. This can be a significant speedup on CPUs with 3+ cores, however on GS-limited games (or on dual core CPUs) it may be a slowdown.
