V Slow Comp when datamining

[AshleyC]

My computer has got really slow at times particularly when I'm multi-tabling and datamining ie have 15 tables open.

When I do so, it says CPU usage is 80%, Committ Charge 688M/1051M and my computer often freezes.

Aside from buying a new computer, (my current one is a decent 1 year old Packard Bell), is there anything that I can do?

Is it likely just to be the size of my Pokertracker database? Would buying extra memory help? Are there any other products that I can buy to help?

Advice appreciated

Your harddrive is probably the bottleneck.

Post the specs of your machine. (cpu, ram, hard drive size and how full your hard drive is.

The screenshot in your other thread was a clue.

1. You're running Norton. Norton makes computers run slow.
2. You probably don't have enough RAM.
3. Your computer is a packard bell and probably has a slow hard drive.

I wouldn't be surprised if you also have a lot of spyware/adware and extra programs running at startup. With all of that being said, Norton is enough to make a computer run like poop.

I don't think decent Packard Bell has ever been said with a straight face before.

What has been said above plus purge some of the hands in DB, do you really need hands from 6 months ago?
