Wait a minute...I
am running with a cheap, old AMD 800 mhz processor......quote.com emulator,
e-mini (NQ 1min, 15 min; ES 3 min, 15 min, and 100 other symbols in real time. 3
workspaces, about 50 indicators and systems, etc. in total are
running.
OK, today is a
slow day, but the Task Manager stats are:
AVG CPU USAGE:
5%
PEAK CPU USAGE:
15%
MEM USAGE:
150MB

YES, you will need to upgrade.

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,
Ray Raffurty
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?
