Improving computer performance

Not necessarily. Some versions of Windows have a memory ceiling. In other words, even though you may have 1 gig of ram, with some versions of Windows it will still only use 512mb of it.

Please show me P2.4's that come with a fresh copy of Windows 98 installed.

I always find running the tests at PCPitstop.com is one of the best first places to go.

It eliminates a lot of the possibilities before you even start.

If you are playing on a Crypto site there is nothing wrong with your computer. You just have to live with it for now. If it is Party something does seem FISHY.

Ditto. Beyond being a normal resource hog, Crypto's software has resource leaks that irrationaly consume your whole processor if you piss it off. I've found it helps to keep your PT database lean to give Crypto a wide berth.

Also, when importing Crypto hands, pokertracker eats up a lot of processing power. I typically, import after I'm done playing rather that having it auto-import for this reason.

Close the "Ring Game Player Statistics" window.

I generally do the same thing, as it's seem to have gotten progressively worse over the last few months.

However, I tried with brand new PT database last night, and had no problems importing crypto hands from 4 tables every 5 minutes. Once a PT database gets big enough it's just too much to run alongside Crypto.

I use both ad-aware, spybot, norton, and e-trust. I'll run them tonight but I should be okay on that count. Thanks for the suggestions.

Do you have all four continuously running in the background? If so, that could be part of the problem.

Haha, yeah. It took me about 2 weeks to figues this one out. I have a 1.4 GHz, 256 RAM machine with XP home, and it doesn't lag at all with 3 tables and PT.
