Default Re: How powerful is the PC you use to play poker?

P4 2.4
XP Pro
200GB HD
17" and 20" LCDs

Probably overkill, but I already had the components so that's what I used to build a separate PC for poker only. I don't like the idea of poker sites poking around in my personal data and porn.

actually, while I can 4 table on a nice 2001FP,

I've been enjoying playing one table at a time on a K6/2-350 laptop that only runs 800x600 -

In fact, lately I've started tourneys while sitting in the recliner playing Forza Motorsports and I'll hit pause on a straightaway and hit fold for crap hands then keep racing.

sometimes when I get bored I pretend I'm James Bond - running for cover but having to look down and punch a button on the computer without crashing.... good fun.

No way, man. I 8-table on a 13-inch color TV hooked up to my Texas Instruments 99/4A, with my HH saved to 10-min audio tapes. Someday I hope to spring for the $800 floppy drive expansion that's the size of a portable fridge. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]




[for those under 30...Yes, you really could hook up an old tape recorder to these ancient machines and save 48K or so of data to it. You'd literally have to hit the record button right when you gave the save command...used to take about 5 tries to get it to work w/o errors.]
