You
keep referring to 1Gig and 2Gig PC's. I'm assuming that you are
talking about 1Ghz and 2Ghz and not 1Gbyte and 2Gbyte. In other
words, you are talking about processor speed versus memory?

If the
2Ghz PC is hyper-threaded and the 1Ghz PC is not, the (supposedly) faster PC
will run slower. If this is the case, it confirms my belief that
MetaStocks has not been programmed in such a way as to take advantage of hyper
hyperthreading.

Other
things that can be quite different between the PC's are:

<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

paging space).
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

I hope
this helps you.

[EquisMetaStock Group] Explorations Running Slower On Win
XPDoes anybody know what might be causing my 2Gig Win
XP Home Ed. machine to run Explorations slower than my 1Gig Win ME
machine?I'm using the exact same Exploration on the exact same
database of symbols. The exact same Exploration setup. Each
machine is Exploring in the exact same way.There's one noticable
difference: On the 1 Gig Win ME machine, the Exploration Status
window shows "Disk Space Remaining as 2047.7M where as on the 2Gig Win XP
Home Ed. the "Disk Space Remaining" is only 345.7M. I don't know
what this means nor why the big difference.Both machines have a 40Gig
hard drive with more than half of the drive free and defragged.The
1 Gig machine is about 25% faster than the 2 Gig machine. I expected
a dramatic increase in speed on the 2 Gig machine, but didn't get
it.As a comparison, my Excel program runs 3 times faster on the 2Gig
machine.I'd sure appreciate one of you smart users to take a stab
at this. So far, Tech Support has not been able to come up with
anything.Thanks much,JohnTo
