im trying to compensate for my severe lack of poker ability by playing as many tables as possible to make my 1% roi turn into something [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] holla

"my severe lack of poker ability by playing as many tables as possible"

Why do you think I stepped up from 4 tables to 6...if I had the equipment to 8+table I'd do it.

"then bought the new quadro vid card for 400"

Is there anyway to hook this card up to a laptop (I know you can get external video cards or something). I'd love to get another couple of dells to 12 table and have my laptop screen for the lobbys ($100 an hour at the $22s yeahh).

mmm, im not sure, but i doubt it. laptops are REALLY tough to upgrade. if you did, you would have to call dell, ask them to do it, and they would probably charge like 800 for the whole process. holla

Take your laptop into a local computer shop, or a few if you don't know a good one. Some of them are terrible, but if you can find a good one they'll be extremely helpful with giving you ideas. While you probably won't be able to get the card to fit in the laptop, it sounds to me like you want to use the laptop as a screen, which I'm pretty sure is possible with quite a few laptops.

Already do, the vid card allows for the dual setup (so I've got a dell hooked up). I can 6 table with this (4 on the dell, 2 w/ overlap on the laptop since its 1024x768). I'd love to be able to add another dell lcd, but that'd require a card that allows for 3 screens, and obviously mind doesn't. I don't think I could add another monitor anyway even if the card allowed it, can't see where it'd hook up (usbs are already used, and there's only 1 monitor socket).

I guess if I wanna play more tables I have to get a new laptop (1600x1200) or get a desktop. 6 tabling really isn't enough.

Very cool!
How do you manage to have the different skins...it gives me the "Danger, Danger, Will Robinson, we have detected an intruder" etc etc.

Raptor-

How big are the monitors, and what resolution do you run them at?

I'm looking to get (start out at) 2 flat panels, but I'd like to make sure they can each fully fit 4 tables, as I see yours can.

Very nice setup, btw. I'm jealous...

you have to sign up for each of them on a computer that has never had one of the party skins downloaded on it. i used my sisters dorm room and an internet cafe. holla
