8 tabling question

Hi.....I have a question about 8 tabling.......

I just set up my (2) new Dell 2001fp monitors and connected them the my Dell Dimension 9100 desktop......

My question is I just tried 8 tabling and it seems that about every minute or so my computer freezes for about 10 seconds or so and when it comes back I have only a few seconds to act on my hands and sometimes it folds my hands before I can act.....

I searched the archive on here and saw the Dell Dimension 3000 was sufficient for 8 tables.......But I decided to upgrade to the better Dimension 9100 mainly because of the video card that came with it and the price was good so I spent the extra money......

My Dell 9100 has the following: P4 3.0Ghz, 1GB Dual Channel SDRAM, 160 GB Ultra ATA/100 7200 RPM hard drive, and a 256MB Geforce 6800 video card and my two Dell 2001fp monitors are connected to the DVI and VGA slots.....


Is there anything that I can do to stop the delays?......Do I have something not setup correctly?

Or do I need more memory, maybe upgrade from 1GB to 2GB? But, before I upgrade anything, my understanding after reading the archives on here and reading what several 2+2ers wrote, I seem to have more than enough computer for 8 tabling or dont I?......I hope I just have something not configured properly........

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.......Thank you for your time.....
