Default Re: Which computer should I buy for poker?

I actually got an older, less cool version for poker only. EMachines T3882
-Intel Celeron 335D
-80 GB harddrive
-256 MB ram

I purchased an nvidia quattro video card for dual-monitoring off eBay for less than $20 including shipping. Easy to put into a PCI slot and just had to change the bios from
AtI and took 30 minutes total set-up.

Upgraded by buying some RAM from Kbyte (1 GIG) that was less than $50 after a mail-in rebate.

I have no problems running plenty of tables. Hell, I run 6 at pokerroom skins, which are resource intensive, with pokertracker and pokerace. No problem running 10 party tables with multi-table helper, pokertracker, and pokerace.

I'd say those computers are fine with appropriate upgrades/ purchases.
