Why do my games run so slow?

[The_Regulator]

Hi i just got my pcsx2 up and running and all the bios stuff is figured out and now the issue im having is game speed

my comp specs:
AMD Athlon 64 3800+
2.40 GHz
3 gigs of RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GS
(running on Xp sp.2)

The game im playing is .Hack//G.U

(kinda a noob at this stuff really...)

1 - Your CPU is a single core, a dual core is recommended
2 - the .hack games are still quite a bit buggy, so having speed issues shouldn't be surprising

If you don't want to replace your current motherboard...which is socket 939 I believe. The Opteron 156 is the best you can get for type 939.
