Ok, so what are the specs to look for to utilized HM/PT3?

[/ QUOTE ]
Processor speed - for both - will give you the greatest boost (ie, it is most likely to be the bottleneck on either program)

I run these all the time, I play poker 5hrs/day, and I am considering just using 1 db per year if possible. This would mean a million hand DB, maybe 1.2 or so mill.

To put it into perspective, I have a five million hand DB, and I get great performance on my low-end Core2Duo laptop (E2xxx series)

[ QUOTE ]
Also, I am thinking HP or Dell(If there are better options plz tell me).

get a 1920x1200 res screen for whichever is cheaper.

So give me good specs and where you would buy it.

Anything with Core2Duo, and 1920x1200 screen would be ideal.

HM is so much faster than what you'd be used to with PT that it'll be much faster for you.

Also, AMD or Intel.

the CTH forum has a pretty big consensus for Core2Duo at the moment.

Intel has just dropped the prices on the Quad core Q6600 processor, so that's also an option.
