Re: Delll 9300
I'd also say hard drive speed will help, because PT and PostgreSQL write to it a LOT. I'm glad I got the 7200rpm on my 9300, because it literally flies with PAHUD and PT running - there's not even a delay, maybe the slightest flicker when it updates between hands.
I think RAM helps a little but I've just got the stock 512Mb, and it runs fine with that. PS I'd also use Partition Magic, and use a different partition solely for the database. This way you can also use something like Diskeeper and keep it defragged regularly, plus running at top performance. At least - that's what I did.

However, isn't the difference in screen size alone worth upgrading to at least the basic 9300 with monitor upgrade? [/ QUOTE ] Certainly. I think the 17" screen is the nuts - especially if you will be putting in many hours at the poker tables. I was just commenting on the fact that, while it is a great feature, it isn't absolutely necessary. If cost is an issue, the 6000 will do the trick. That said, I picked up the 9300 and absolutely love it. If cost isn't of concern then the decision is easy.

I am in the same situation. I have a Dell line of credit and I am looking to buy a Latitude 9300. Should I wait or are these coupons a good deal? [/ QUOTE ] I'd also like to know if that helps get a response.
