Brief Advice re new Desktop specs, pretty plz...
Looking for a wee bit of input re a new desktop. Mainly for poker; will want it to easily handle 8-10 tables over several poker clients/PAHUD/PT/iTunes/Internet browsing. I'm sick of my slow old (well 3 yr lappy) thing and willing to pay for anything that will keep full speed up under load. I'm not worried about cost, if it's something that'll give me any benefit.
Big question: Can I use 3 seperate monitors with these video card options. Any comments appreciated. My notes in bold after each choice... Dell Inspiron 530 Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E4400 (2MB L2 Cache,2.00GHz,800 FSB) [Included in Price] Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E4500 (2MB L2 Cache,2.20GHz,800 FSB) [add $50 or $2/month1] Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E6550 (4MB L2 Cache,2.33GHz,1333 FSB) [add $100 or $3/month1] I'd prolly get the expensive one cos its prolly best & I dont know much.
