ps2 emulators

Yup, they are legal.
There's a few PS2 emulators, the best (imho) being PCSX2. You need a minimum of a core2 above 3GHz to be able to run most games at full speed. There's guides on the PCSX2 forums for ripping your bios from your PS2 - also set up guides for the program and game ripping guides.

And this is in the wrong section, this is the Graphic Card section :)
 
PCSX2 is what your after. I actually ripped the bios from my PS2 so i dont see how they can say that's illegal.

Anyway If you got an AMD CPU then its not that good anyway. The better the speeds the better games will play. I bet an i5 can destroy any game seeing as how high it overclocks and has SSE4 etc. Which makes it run even better.
 
Bit of a grey area, technically the software itself isn't illegal, obtaining a ROM from an unlicensed 3rd party or making it available to a 3rd party without holding an appropriate copyright license almost definitely is but ripping it from hardware you own and using it personally is a bit more murky i.e. (and this is just an example of many possible scenarios) the EULA might prohibit it but local law actually allows it and would over-ride the EULA or in some cases there may not even be an entry in the EULA/T&C that prohibit it and so on.
