This would be only for poker so I think 128 should be enough, the only really big thing on there will be pt4 or maybe CRev.

I only have 4 gigs of ram and my machine is plenty fast. Anyone who doesn't have a 64 bit OS is limited to 4 gigs utilized.

I think a lot of slowdowns are mistakenly attributed to memory or CPU when they can be things like virus scanners or a fragmented HD or god knows what. In the past I've had to "exclude" HEM, Table Ninja, poker sites from anti virus real time shield programs and it helped a lot.

arent all factory windows 7s 64 bit these days?

32 bit is closer to 3.2-3.4 anyway.

if "only for poker" means ONLY poker stuff, then its prob fine. if you browse, music, etc at the same time, i would go more than 4.

fatlike, what os you use?

95% of cell phones could handle 3 tabling. you'd need to be more specific to actually narrow down anything.

on another note, any mouse recs? my deathadder just broke, before that had a g500 and an mx518 for 3 and 5 years respectively. using the same 518 atm, but it feels kinda small and the rubber is dying after ~10 years. considering the steelseries sensai (basically an intellimouse) but not sure if the size is similar. really liked the large-ness of da/g500

I have been using the Logitech G9x for 4 years or so and love it. Great for people who have a claw grip or a quasi claw grip.

looks way smaller than a 518 even, which feels small compared to da/g500, is that wrong?

mmmmm well none of my hand generally touches the mouse besides my fingers so I guess it's smaller. If you are a wrist/arm mover it probably isn't the mouse for you.

yeah im a low sens type. used to use 13" for a full 360 ingame. i got used to a full feeling mouse, so when my palm rests on nothing it feels too small. kinda why im debating the sensai. think i could rma the g500 if w.e i pick doesnt work out

can some one w a 30 inch dell U311 confirm that it supports 2560x1600 pixels (monitor u311), atleast manual (and amazon) says it does

tried it via hdmi and dvi outlets but max i could get was 1920x1200, i assume i need the display port to reach the 2560 solution? if my graphic card doesnt have a display port, can i use an adapter and still reach the 2560 res?

I don't own one but anyway, you will need a dual link DVI-D cable. I've read about cases where WQXGA would only work on one of the DVI inputs, so make sure to try both. If none of them work it could be a driver issue, in which case a driver update with the monitor plugged should help.

Does anyone here play on a laptop with a glossy screen?

The laptop that I am thinking of buying has one and i'm worried the reflections will drive me mad.

Using glossy screens is just about making sure you put work station in a place that isn't going to have a light source at a bad angle, they're perfectly usable.

There was this issue itt awhile ago.

The HDMI standard supports x1600 and has supported that resolution for a long time, but many laptops won't push out that resolution because of old/lazy/cheap companies not upgrading their products.

thoughts on a decent computer chair thats not too expensive, currently using a self made ikea one, its ok but can feel my back getting sore worth investing in a proper chair, not going to buy one for a cpl of weeks probably would like to spend between $100-200, and I live in australia if that helps.

Also, I just noticed 27" iMacs have big resolution. My life would be so much easier if I could just put one of those in a case and send it on a plane.
