are there any specific hardware upgrades that would make auctionsieve run smoother, faster (besides internet connection, it is fine) The problem I have is that some of the sieves I do are so big that auctionsieve "stalls". Any suggestions would be welcome. Oh and I run AMD athlon 1800 512 megs ram

The most important thing is increasing the ram.
So upgradnig to 1gig of ram would be good. Ram is very cheap nowadays.

Then follow the instructions here:
http://www.auctionsieve.com/faq/#memory
but set the value higher - for example
lax.nl.java.option.java.heap.size.max=512000000
ie that gives AuctionSieve 512meg

The other thing is to try and optimise your sieve somehow.
Is it a search-based or category-based sieve?
Perhaps a search-based sieve with a couple of words to exclude will help.

Oh - and turn off image downloading in the options.

I will upgrade to 2 gig if I have too. Pictures I find very useful so that is not really an option.

Go ahead - give it as much as you can!
I think the maximum heap size you can specify is a touch under 2 gig.
