Hi.
I'm buying a new computer and would like to get some help on doing so.
I'm a mass multitabler and understandably want things to run as smooth as possible. I currently play 20+ tables, but I'd like to see myself being able to 30+ soon. For this there is no room for lag issues.
I play at PokerStars. I use HEM, Tournament Shark, TableNinja and PokerTracker all at the same time. I would also like to be using NoteCaddy and leave options open to run even more programs simultaneously. And without lag! I also stream music while playing and keep Skype open.
Now what sort of things I should be looking for specwise? Is quad core a must or could I do fine with dualcore i5-type processors also? How important are the GHz? How much memory is enough? How much is so much that it doesn't help my cause anymore?
I suppose SSD does a lot when going towards a lag free environment, but could I also do fine with a regular HD? How about graphics card? Is there any difference to me if I get a card with 1GB of memory instead of 2GB's. Is there anything else I should be looking for in graphics cards or in anything else for that matter?
Any input is highly appreciated. Thank you..
