If lottosynch is not predicting the winning numbers, why be in a hurry? Any other lottery program could give you an equally bad prediction in a potion of the time.RJOh

ok, if you want a fast PC to run programs like lottosynch, get a dual CPU machine (or quad if your budget allows). You want one running win2k or XP Pro that has support for multi CPU's and lets you set processor affinity, this will allow you to isolate one CPU to just run lottosynch and the other to do whatever you normally do (like surf the LP ;-) )Barring that, perhaps one of the 3GHz+ P4's with HyperThreading Technology...

P-4, anything but AMD. I've got two fried AMD boards in the closet with no idea what did them in, while the Intel has survived a fan breakdown/overheat, a wacky power supply and a spark jump from the vacum cleaner. BobP

When buying a PC never skimp on memory. You can have the fastest processor out there but if your applications are hogging the memory your just slowing the thing down.

hard drives can NEVER be even close to the speed of memory, especially cpu cache memory. If you were doing alot of disk caching then can see where a raid would help, but with memory so cheap nowadays just buy 1 gb.

Paul have you considered a dual hard drive raid 1 or raid 0I was told it up to 35% faster processing information I would think speed would be importantbut it does cost a lot more. let us know what you get. Ticket

Vick:I would prefer a P4 before an AMD athlon. The new P4 processors use less power and produce less noise and HEAT.The optimal lottosync pc is 512mb ram with a processor as fast as you can afford. Memory and harddisk capacity are by far less important than the processor

i'm waiting for guru to release the keno version because ver 1.7 only goes upto 60, otherwise it picks good numbers.Right now i'm playing a select few of random 10 number sets

paul, the only intel processor that can keep up with the 64 bit amd is the intel p4 800 fb extreme edition [which i think has 2 mb on board cache memory], so for right now, either of these processor's would be tops. I'd personally go with the p4 extreme edition [note here in canada it costs about $1300 just for the cpu i think, comparable with the amd high end 64 bit] dual channel ddr memory, fast drive etcthe p4 extreme edition is a stop gap measure until intel releases their prescott cpu lin...

thanks john i was hoping somebody was going to say the p4 as it was my preference anyway i just didnt know if it was the fastest for the job in hand.

paul762 -Really depends on how much money you want to spend and what alternate uses to which you'll use the PC. My personal preference is the P4, in that the P4 handles large files (Excel spreadsheets and other files 1MB and larger, for instance) faster than AMD's Athlon and Intel's Celeron. If you're regularly doing analyses which require spreadsheets at least as large as that, P4 would be the way to go, otherwise save your money by buying the lower-priced processor.gljohn

PaulLottoSync is O.K. but it isn't the Holy Grail.There is a good chance that in the future Guru will make it really good, all we can do is wait.Maybe Pc speed is what counts the most, then memory.So maybe which-ever is fastest

have been looking at pentium 4 and athlon amd 64 bit, which is best for lottosync
