    lol.

    Get a new PC off ebuyer, order tonight it'll be with you in time for the Sunday grind.

    The 1 I bought 12/15 months ago is about £250 brand new now, it's more than enough for 4/5 sites & facebook/Spotify etc all at same time.

    Order within 24 hours it'll come on Saturday.

    You'll be able to get a few quid for the comp you have now, surprised if it costs you more than £100 altogether.  

    Also if something goes wrong in the future ring a different technician!

    There are a couple of things you could look at first of all..........

    When does your computer do windows & security updates?

    Go To: Control Panel - Windows Updates - Change settings
    You can change the settings from "Every Day" to Every Sunday or a day & time when you are not playing poker. You can also change it to stop dowloading & installing updates automatically and install them at a time that suites you.

    PCs become much slower whilst automatic downloads are being installed, so its always best to change the settings to a time or day when you are not playing poker.

    you can also do the same with your internet & virus security settings.

    I would also recommend a minimum of 4gig of RAM memory if you don't already have that much installed.

    Does you PC also have a dual core or better CPU Processor?
    What operating system are you running?

    Tell us your pc specs first mate.  Follow these instructions then post your findings:

    1) Click start and then right click on 'My Computer'
    2) Select Properties and a new screen will pop up.
    3) Now under system post the details of your 'Ram' and 'Processor'.  Once you've done that we'll take it further.

    Your processor will be the reason for your pc struggling to cope with the amount of tables you are trying to play.  Also you could do with at least 6gb memory.

    What kind of budget would you be willing to spend on a pc?  Pulled out a few that would be suitable for you depending on how much you're willing to spend although a couple of them come without an operating system so you'll have to spend extra for that.

    I would opt for either no2 or no4.

    I doubt very much that this will have anything to do with it although your wifi may contribute towards a slight delay at times if the signal is not strong  and is lost between your pc and router.

    I would suggest you try and play 2 or 3 tables to test if you experience any lag and if so try it with just 1 table and see what happens.  I had a laptop that was a dual core 2ghz processor (very similar to yours) with 3gb memory and it struggled to play more than 6 tables.

    That will be because of the processor struggling to handle it.  Go for a pc with the specs that I have showed but remember if you choose one without an operating system, you're going to need to pay extra for that and then if you cannot install it you'll be paying for someone to do it for you.
