am i running too much poker software?
 

I upgraded my computer about 6 months ago.

I have a intel dual core cpu 6600 @ 2.4ghz
I have 2 gb of RAM.

If I run one poker site with Poker tracker, and PA hud, it works fine. When I run 5 different software programs :
(1) Bodog
(2) Dogwatch handgrabber
(3) Poker tracker
(4) Poker Ace Hud
(5) Absolute Poker

My computer crashes. When I upgraded my computer, I thought I did enough to run all this stuff. Is this too much for any cpu? Would a quad core make that much difference? Do you think it could be my graphics card? I have an NVIdia GeForce 7300.

Any help or advice would be appreciated. thanks

Your computer specs are fine. If its actually crashing then something is behaving rather badly. Your best bet is to narrow down the exact conflict that causes the crash and then report the problem to the makers of that software.

Chances are it is running Bodog with *other software* that is causing the crash - IIRC it likes a whole computer to itself (DogWatch is probably not the culprit tho, I'd imagine they tested lots alongside Bodog) [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
