Default Re: Party Lobby is CPU hogging beyond control - help plz

Hi, I have also been experiencing huge problems as of late. I was oftentimes at 100% CPU Usage, but lately it only goes up to 100% when Poker Tracker is doing an import, and then goes back to something manageable. Following all the advice in this forum seems to have helped a lot. Problem is, I am sometimes experiencing freezes in which I can not click my mouse (this is obviously really bad times when you're in the middle of a NL pot at a no DP table). I can move the mouse cursor, but each time I try to click, I get no results except for the windows default beep sound. Here's all the info I know of that might help:

Computer stats:
AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3000+
1.81 GHz, 2 GB RAM

Programs running when freeze occurs:
PartyPoker, 4-6 tables either being actively played or datamined, at least some played
PokerAceHud
PokerTracker, Postgres
FreePHG

Also, in one case of freeze I had Autohotkey and Demonster running, in one case I did not.

Just to confirm what others have said, I have not had any problems while datamining alone (I happen to be using IWitness for that).

Lag is one thing, and not being able to act in the middle of a pot is another, of course. Would the experts here recommend I buy better hardware of some kind, or go another route? If it requires any work-intensive assistance I'd be happy to pay/donate. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
