    SSD Endurance... FWIW

    Thanks for the 411 Scat. I've been shy of ssd because I always want dependability over anything else. Maybe I'll try one. I really don't have any systems which would benefit from being faster (and I have 20+ systems). Brand names are the way to go. In manufacturing when something doesn't come up...

    Better setup for heavy use Excel

    He says: We had the same issue. Large books working off of large books. We installed the x64 Excel on Win7 x64 and put in 32GB DDR3 ram. We open multiple instances of Excel on a dedicated box. No feed, not even an internet connection. Dedicated quad core box doing nothing but calculations...

    How to contact a Moderator

    Under the Contact Us link, can you provide a link which we could use to PM a Moderator? Absent that, can you just provide me with a Moderator's handle so I can send a PM? I just want to bring to your attention something concerning one of your advertisers. It's only a misspelling in one of...

    Better setup for heavy use Excel

    You are limited to 2GB of ram usage with an x86 (32 bit) version of Excel. If you install an x64 version of Excel you can load up on ram and the system will use it. You'll need an x64 version of Office on an x64 Win7 install. Read up on it before you install it because even an x64 Excel will...

    Why Trading softwares breakdown when they are upgraded

    I was told by a Microsoft engineer that the marketing department controls when a product gets released regardless if whether it works at all. So when "release day" arrives, whatever piece of trash they have in development goes out the door. And that's why there are thousands of updates in the...

    Is the Intel i3 slow for trading purposes?

    That is stated very well. It's a matter of how much you trade, when you trade, how you trade, etc. If you're 24/7 into the futures and trading 50 lots at a time, you're probably going to want a redundant system with it's own data connection all being one click away from logging into your...

    Is the Intel i3 slow for trading purposes?

    I'm with Boli on this subject. You don't build a system for average daily use. You build it for when theives crash the planet and you don't want to be taken out by it.
