Multitabling - overhating CPU and virtual memory down

[[email protected]]

Hi,
My experience with PT4 is not too good so far.
YOu have a very powerful analysis tool but I am straggling a lot with HUD.

I am multitabling 14tables on pokerstars.fr 6-max and fullring.
I am using a Sony Vaio vgn nw20zfs on windows 7 home edition - 64 bits with 4GB RAM

I decided after 2years and a half since I am using this laptop to do a compelte restore to factory settings and I am only running Pokertacker, my pokerclient, tableninja and postgreSQL the default coming with PT4.

The issues so far are listed :
1) When playing on 6-max tables, if a player is missing the stats are moved one player - so hud stats don't match event I selected correctly my player seat preferences. Is working when I join a table which is full.
2) Sometimes for some tables some HUD don't appear. I have maybe 8 tables with HUD working and 6 without HUD
3) I get messages of running low on virtual memory
4) Sometimes my laptop freeze durign 30-45 seconds and I loose all pots where I was playing, much more than the price of PT4.
5) I am having issues with the HUD. As I am mixing within a session FR and 6-max tables, when I unlock and then save layout and lock it doesn't do the same for all tables with the same name of players. The new layout is not refresh
6) Pop -up stats are at 0 in most of the cases, they are not gettign update on Live but I have soem player for which I have stats, I guess the ones I already played with before.

Do I need to buy a new laptop? Is 4GB enough ? I have been using HM1 and never experienced so many issues on the import hud real time fucntionalities.

Can you recommend which settings should I use, I just restore once againt my laptop with factory settigns and I would like to follow a clear install guide of pt4 while multitabling up to 24 tables with a 4gb ram laptop on windows 64 bits.
Should I stop using get hands while playing and loose the opportunity to get real stats from "fishes" , then Pt4 is not worthy compare to other more real time solutions ....

Please let me know the best practices for my case.
Regards,
Jesus

What version of PostgreSQL do you have installed? How large is your database?

Your computer's CPU is on the lower end of our specs but I don't like the behavior you're reporting so I'd like to see what we can figure out here.

I installed PostgreSQL with the pokertracker installer.
I didn't define any size as it wasn't asked during installation. I restored factory settings so I will need to install everything again but I guess you know better pokertracker defaults settings for PostgreSQL !
Let me know how you want to proceed, I can try to install 9.0.
Is the processor a really an issue or if I upgrade my hard drive to an ssd an the ram to 8gb everything should fly?

Upgrading the hard drive and RAM will certainly help. And with a 64 bit machine we do recommend 9.0 64 bit which you can get here. As that's the easiest piece, I'd definitely say start there.

I installed yesterday postgreSQl 9 with the link you provide me and did some tuning :
is working better. I am anyway going to increase my RAM and maybe also change my HDD to a SDD. I let you know about the performance improvements !
