New machine with at least 4GB Ram, depending on Poker Site, it can use up a lot of memory, Basic Dual core with Windows 8 would do ya, probably €350-€400

Thanks help wit IT , would you be able to, link me the kind ofone I'd be looking at? I am a Mac guy, but know very little about other brands-btw she mainly only plays with Paddy Power, but if she could get one that would support 3d? so she could play on poker stars, that would be a bonus, the one that kicked the bucket is probably 10 yrs old.... :eek:

A netbook class processor? Now matter how cheap, they're never a good deal.



Save yourself a few quid and get a real laptop: 15.6" Packard Bell with a Core i3 processor for €335 at LD
