Don't ignore the HD speed, a 7200 rmp vs a 5400 in a laptop will make a noticeable difference because Poker Tracker is a HD resource hog especially if you have it set up to load HH every minute

I think you're significantly under-valuing disk speed and over-valuing CPU speed. My Inspiron 9200 has a 1.6GHz cpu, 512MB RAM, and a 7200rpm hard drive and has no trouble with 4 tables + PT + PV + firefox + gaim. |

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, I do think that I will need to move to 7200 in the near future, but I did not want to disqualify this machine for that reason. Upgrading to a 7200rpm drive is not an option for this series, but if I need to I can probably swap in a 60GB 7200rpm for about $150. Thanks for the info, I'm definitely going to look more into slower processer/faster HD. |
