Sorry, I copied that directly from the Dell support site.
Here you go: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3470S CPU @2.9GHz, 16 GB RAM, 64-bit
Speed is more or less proportional to base frequency x number of cores. There is around 15% bonus for hyperthreading (i7 over i5) and a slight bonus for newer generations of CPUs.
That means that your CPU has a score of 4 x 2.9 = 11.6
Something like i7 5820k would be 6 x 3.3 = 19.8 and additional 15% so 22.7 so that's around 2x faster than your current one.
You can get something faster than that if you go for big machines but those are quite expensive to rent. As one example we are renting 16 core Xeon @ 2.6Ghz which is around 2x faster than 5820k so about 4x faster than your machine.
The most reliable way to get the solution faster though is to make the tree smaller. Reducing number of possible bet sizes, all-ins etc. are good ways to start.

i was told a ton of stuff about dedicated servers and cloud instances and stuff that i have no clue about.
i tried to do some looking into and the services that offer that are like $80-300/mo
does anyone have any experience setting these up? or rent cloud instances somewhere at an hourly rate instead of monthly?
I dont know what the next step is to get this software setup. Unsure where to even go from here.
There are too many providers out there with their own ordering process and options. We can't really keep up to date with that and they have their own support to help.
That being said it's a good idea to ask about it on our Skype group as a lot of people went through the process of setting up Pio on either cloud instance or a dedicated server.
In general dedicated servers are more convenient (you don't need to deactivate the license before closing down the VM) and cheaper if you run it a lot. The downside is that you pay per month so if you only need it for few hours here and there cloud instances are a better option.

Is there a way to make scripts to calculate from turns (for every turn card) for a given set of precalculated flops (so that you already have turn starting ranges for after each flop)?
There is no way to generate it automatically right now. You would need to somehow generate it yourself. This means either quite a lot of typing/copy pasting or making a tool that's going to generate it for you.
