Pokertracker, PAHUD, PosgreSQL, = Do I need a faster processor?
-I recently upgraded from 512MB or RAM to 2GB of Ram
-I recently set up PAHUD to work with Pokertracker, which I run with a PosgreSQL database. Right now running all this is taking up an average of about 99% of my CPU and overall the system is laggy. What do I need to improve performance? It looks like PosgreSQL is taking most of the resources. -Faster processor? (AMD 64 3700+) -More RAM? -Better video cards? (running 3 1600x1200s monitors on 2 dual DVI cards) -Different software setup? Sorry if I am stupid.

Try the hardware forum.
An Opteron 165 (dual core) is about $150 and will be plenty. Are you autorating when you import?

[/ QUOTE ] Yes it really makes a huge difference. My poker tables used to freeze up when I was importing + autorating.. now I don't even notice pokertracker running.

1.25 gb page file usage wow thts rediculious...somthing is hogging your recources, i dont think u need more hardware,u need to decrease the amount of software u are running...your processor & 2 gig of memory should b fine to run ANY software these days.
i dunno tho if you are tring to run multiple tables & databases, an intel processor w/ hyperthreading would better handle mltitasking if you are bent on getting new hardware.

Since he has 2 GB of RAM, a 1.25 GB pagefile isn't at all onerous. I have 2 GB RAM (but am not driving my system that hard ATM), and have 957 MB of page file allocated (and 1.1 GB free physical RAM). Just because Windows chooses to store some things in the page file doesn't indicate memory starvation. Yes, his CPU is a little weak for what he's doing. He may also benefit from faster hard drives (hardware RAID), or if his PT database has more than a few hundred thousand hands it may be time to back it up, drop older hands, and trim the fat. The bulk of what SQL is doing when it has the CPU time is indexing... and the larger your database is, the more onerous indexing becomes. After you reach several million hands in a PT database, things can get mighty unwieldy. Jester

Don't auto rate while you are playing. I don't have this problem but I'm guessing that has to be processor intensive.
When I'm playing with 8 tables, postgres, PT, PA, and music/video my processor runs only around 30-40%.

Are you having it import hands every minute? Maybe it would help if you moved the timer down to like every five minutes?
