You're probably sick of reading me waffle on about emulators, but I'm sorry, I have to do it again.I'm impressed. No, I'm VERY impressed.
Gran Turismo 2 on Windows? I'd heard about Play Station emulators, but didn't really believe they'd be much good. The console in question may be a bit long in the tooth these days, but those are still some pretty funky custom gfx chips, and would surely take a minor mirracle to emulate effectively enough to play any games.
So I thought. Hah!!!
Okay, here's the score. I'm running a Sharp laptop with a 1.1Ghz AMD Athlon, 256meg ram, with the S3 Savage 4 3D gfx card, which anyone who knows about gfx cards will identify as a truly crapy graphics chipset. So, a fairly average system, and extremely below average 3D capabilities. So, running the ePSXe emulator, with bios files from here and all the other required plugins from here, I'm now able to run Gran Turismo 2 at full speed, with only very minor sound glitching on options screens.
Way cool.
