I would wait until before release before updating these, currently the website uses both the faq and configuration guide from GitHub.

Shouldn't it be "SSE4.1" and not "SSE4"?

*Note: Recommended Single Thread Performance is based on moderately complex games. Games that pushed the PS2 hardware to its limits will struggle on CPUs at this level. Some release titles and 2D games which underutilized the PS2 hardware may run on CPUs rated as low as 1200. A quick reference for CPU **intensive games**: [Wiki](https://wiki.pcsx2.net/Category:CPU_intensive_games), [Forum](https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-LIST-The-Most-CPU-Intensive-Games) and CPU **light** games: [Forum](https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-LIST-Games-that-don-t-need-a-strong-CPU-to-emulate)*

Past perfect continuous would be good as well: games that had been pushing the limits of the PS2 or like
what ref says, it's an action started in the past.
