a very good one. At least 2GB RAM, at least 2GHz dual core. preferably more of all. Preferably XP, although it is possible to configure vista to only a little bit slower.

Also, I can play 20 tables without overlap on a 30" monitor, right? I think I'll get one of those too if I can plug it into my laptop. What resolution would I need on that? I'd probably need a great graphics card in the laptop to run a 30" from a laptop?
Indeed you can tile 20 tables on a 30" without overlap. it is fun
You will specifically need a graphics card including DUAL-LINK DVI output. Anything else will not drive the 30" properly. It is probably quite a rare laptop with this capability, it is going to be important to check.
Personally I'd have a new desktop, and a cheap almost throwaway laptop (EeePC 901, MSI Wind, new breed of cheapo ultraportable etc.), unless you plan to be pokering while travelling a lot - and having a 30" monitor hooked up suggests you are not.
