Default Re: Inspiron 9300 questions??

[ QUOTE ]
I've decided to purchase a Dell Inspiron 9300 and have a couple of questions, as I am not a "computer guy". First off I intend to use it soley for poker. I need four tables with no overlap. I use pokertacker and have a rather large database, as well as playerview.

The basic Inspiron 9300 comes with the following which can be upgraded.

A 17" XGA dispay which can be upgraded to the UXGA display. Worth it? whats the differance?

[get the most expensive monitor upgrade available]

256 MD memory. Can be upgraded to 512, 1GB or 2 GB. Do I need to upgrade?

[1 GB probably best]

Hard drive 40GB standard. Can upgrade to 60, 80, or 100GB. Recommendations?

[It's cheap to upgrade, but 40GB is sufficient even for pretty extensive PT databases and that is the only hard-drive intensive application you've described]

Sound card. Do I need one?

[not sure. standard should be fine. multi-tabling i rely on the beeps, but if it does just that, i dont care about anything else]

Video card. 64MB standard, can upgrade to 128 or 256MB.

[i think standard is fine]

Keep in mind when making your recomendations that my only real interest is multitabling. Thanks in advance for any help.

I am not a huge computer guy, but these answers should be decent. I assume this is for traveling, because i would say that 2 1600X1200 monitors and a desktop kills any possible laptop setup around....
