I noticed that there was no updater file in the root folder. Its always been like this, not sure how to upgrade to the latest build as a result. Im currently on "build 058e759". Any advice would be a great help.
It was an oversight from me corrected in the 1.9 version. Please watch this video:

I talk about the updater and how to use it for first 3 minutes (see the video description for a direct link to the relevant part)

I was wondering how to run an aggregated report in the new version. What I want to see is flop turn and river frequencies over multiple flops, but I can't input a range of flops anymore like I used to.
I am not sure what you mean by "range of flops" the functionality for multiple file reports should be the same as before (+ some improvements/corrections). Can you tell us in a bit more detail what's impossible to do anymore?

Does piosolver run faster with xeon than i7?
Depends on the Xeon and an i7...

The pro verson only supports 12 core, so I wonder if there are difference between using one or two E5 2683 v3 which is a 14 core 28 thread cpu and how much ram would you recommend?
That will be faster than quad i7 but probably only marginally faster than something like 5820k (assuming pro version).
It's hard to say what RAM amount to recommend. If you already have a commercial version of the solver you can estimate the size of various trees and see for yourself. There aren't many practical postflop trees which don't fit under 16GB of RAM in my opinion.

What are the important specs for pio?
It's probably a good idea to browse last few pages (assuming 100 posts per page) of this thread ctrl+f'ing hardware/CPU.

Does RAM speed/timing have a significant impact?
No, DDR3 @ 1600Mhz is fast enough.

Is 4core (~i7-6700k) good enough, or is going for 6 or 8 cores basically 50% and 100% faster?
The speed is proportional (more or less) to number of cores * frequency as long as we are talking modern Intel CPUs.

Looking for a combo below ~800$ (i7-6700k+64gb ddr4+mobo), but if an extra 200-300$ is significantly faster I'd consider it.
Check prices of 5820k. That will be both faster and very likely cheaper.
