Re: which Processor for Poker?

Re: which Processor for Poker?
My 512ram 1.7g Athlon was decent with running PT and things and having a movie playing in the background, but another big hard drive seems to make it stumble quite a bit. Got a 2500+ cpu coming tomorrow which should rectify the situation. I don't know if the problem was memory or cpu power, but generally the problem is cpu power.
I bought my NF7 motherboard months back, and an oc'ed 2500+ chip should max it out. I don't think a 64-bit board is worth it unless you are playing games. Doom3 played ok on mine. I'd hate a 19" monitor after having had a 21", soon to add another. Semprons are like lower-class, same-+-rating, older Athlon cpu's, btw. Your main choice will be between maxing out an "older" board with a 2500+ or 2800+ (3200+?) Athlon cpu or going for a 64-bit board. Pentiums have closed the price/performance gap, but I still think they're lagging behind at most points. This 1600+ chip should be up for sale after tomorrow, btw.
