LMAO... wow... no offense, I just almost fall out of my chair laughing... ahhhh... anyhow, I dont know what atticus was complaining the other day about, so not familiar with that... but what you just said is not accurate... while R1 provides the best read performance, it doesnt slow anything...

first time day trading in a while... so I figure I post it... why the heck not... not as much as some of you, but it is the retirement account..

better and faster is all relative to your workload... the two main differentiators will be bandwidth, which determines expandability, and reliability... within the same family/architecture, speed is relevant... otherwise, not as much...

first off, I am jealous... i dont think I could justify spending that kind of money for a trading workstation but it will certainly last you a very, very long time... second, I am beginning to think people dont like to read... http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=259915...

sure... but the bandwidth available to that video that will vary... in other words... you wont get the "top" performance for it but who cares... you are not modeling molecules in 3D or playing games on it.. basically, what I am trying to say is that unless you have a Xeon, your performance...

simply put, based on what you are stating... it is overkill...you dont need an E3... I would suggest you review the following few threads.. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=259915 http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=260199...

I dont get it... does it matter his/her sexuality when it comes to trading and if you will answer the question or provide advice?

careful, without knowing the actual weights and how they are calculated, you run the risk of guessing the wrong way....that is why APPL can be red and NQ still move higher... in any event... NQ will lead/lag depending on the type of economic cycle we are in... which is what you are seeing...

case in point... from outlet.dell.com PowerEdge R420 Processor: Intel Xeon E5-2430 Processor (2.20GHz, 15M Cache, 7.2GT/s QPI, Turbo, 6C, 95W) Processor: Intel Xeon E5-2430 Processor (2.20GHz, 15M Cache, 7.2GT/s QPI, Turbo, 6C, 95W) No Operating System Dell Outlet PowerEdge R420 500...

what you want to do is easier done with the dow futures, those weights are public... nasdaq are only available for sale... and guarded quite a bit... and it is a good idea to have a clue how the constituents influence the index future, after all... they are the true underlying...

you are not alone in that preference... a server build is more adequate and less costly... but everyone likes to have 8 screens and bragging right with toys... just like a car... rather than to focus on requirements most tend to focus on what looks good... but again, without knowing the real...

he should be clear as to when that is indeed... Important: When using mini DisplayPort-to-singlelink DVI adapters, quad output is divided into two pairs (displays 1 and 2 and displays 3 and 4). The displays used in each pair must be identical (with the same manufacturer and model number) and...

I agree with your statement about single thread performance and the 07-39xxK... specially because you can overclock it easily to 4.5GHz-4.7GHz with water.. and stable.. but I havent seen a 12 core Xeon yet... last I recall, we were up to 10 cores shipping... I will pressume you mean...

dont sweat it... wasnt beating up on you... merely clarifying things to avoid misconceptions.. :)

off the bat... separate your functions... last thing you want, is for your "normal stuff" to crash your "trading stuff".... also, you want something to be fast, but in what manner? fast is relative... your app(how you are doing calcs) sounds like it can multithread under excel... without...

the above statement is completely incorrect... without going into the details as to why ... please keep in mind that Xeon is designed for the enterprise... in the enterprise level, the computers are on 24x7x365 and have to provide at the very least 99.9 uptime in the low end...

I presume you have looked at these threads already... http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=259863 http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=259915

LMAO... but you knew that was going to be said as soon as you sprung up where she was from!!... :) glad to see you have a sense of humor.. :)

you can easily have 16 monitors in a single computer... the cards will cost you more than the computer itself, but you can put in two Matrox M9188 x16s with an E5 without issues...

I would have to agree with everyone else that has stated IB as their recommendation... and unless you are shorting large blocks, I wouldnt be too concerned with IB's list given it is pretty deep.
