Here is a link to a computer using an AMD XP-2000
(1.66 GHz actual clock speed) processor for $260.00. This is a "bare
bones kit" which means that it does not include drives ( hard, floppy, CD or
DVD). You simply unplug your existing drives and install them in your new
computer (not hard to do). It also does not include Video card
or modem. The modem you have is probably fine unless it is very old,
however the video card is probably junk unless you have recently up-graded
it. You need at least a 64 Mg. card ($49.95) for graphic applications such
as charting. It includes 124 MB DDR memory and is upgradeable to 3
GB!!!! An additional 256 MB of memory is $70.00. <A

You can add 2 of these if you wish or go to 512 MB for $173 each <A

keep an open slot for future addition.
The advantage of a "bare bones kit", besides
the low price, is that since you are keeping your existing hard drive the new
computer will immediately have all your programs, files, old e-mails, links,
shortcuts, in other words everything, loaded. The disadvantage is you
will need to plan to have a weekend available to swap the drives. It will
probably take less time but allow 2 days just in case.
Back up everything. You should not have any
problems but if an accident occurs (drop the hard drive and it's a door stop) it
is better to be safe.
Now you just have to convince the wife you REALLY
need a new computer instead of that gold necklace. One bad trade because of
a slow (or frozen) computer will cost you more than the $400.00 spent to
upgrade.
Good luck and good trading,

P.S. I have no association with Tiger Direct
except as a customer. Also they have other kits and complete computers
that might suite you better so check out the web site.

Subject: [RT] TS 2000i ....slow
data
I am using TS 2000i on a Pentium 700 machine on a
chart with a fairly big and complicated els file that is good at identifying
trends. The size of the file seems to slow down the drawing of the chart. The
chart is usually a few minutes behind the actual price. I know it is the els
file that is slowing it down because a blank chart seems to work fine. I
recently upgraded from 240 to 640 mbs of memory and that did seem to help, but
only a little. A friend has the same study on a machine with less memory and
it seems to work Ok. Its too bad because the siftware has been very
helpful.
Any suggestions?
