imdonelosing plays 25/50?

[/ QUOTE ]

yeah - a TON. at first i thought he was really good (mostly b/c he plays so much and so many tables at once...but the more i've watched him play, i've seen him make some DN-esque preflop calls, and river calldowns that can't be profitable on any planet.

I run party on Dual Core,

For starters, here are my suggestions:

A. Have 2 gigs of ram minimum.
B. Use Postgresql for PT.
C. Compact your PT databases NIGHTLY.
D. Defrag your hard drive NIGHTLY.

A simple batch script can be ran for C and D.

This has helped my performance quite a bit.

Thanks for the suggestions.
a) i have 2 gigs of RAM
b) i use postGRES SQL for PT
c & d) I compact my PT DBs every once in a while, but rarely defrag my HD.

I wonder how much that has to do with the problem, though, because I never defrag'd my old HD either (nor do i defrag my 2-yr old laptop), and i never got problems like this. Let me ask you this...is there any reason c & d would be more problematic on a DUAL-CORE computer? (b/c as i mentioned, i only get this problem on my brand new dual-cores AMD 3800 chipsets, and not at all on my 2 yr old single core Dell 9300 laptop)
