I've been told that adding additional RAM to a system won't really have any effect unless the current RAM is completely maxed out, is that true? So for instance if a system is at 50% RAM usage with 16GB then adding an additional 16GB won't make a difference?

For a visual reference point of where I'm at right now, I just performed a speed test and I'm currently getting 46mbps for download and a 4mbps for upload with a 32ms ping, should that be sufficient or would that potentially be what is causing the lag?

Interesting perspective and one that is at least worth looking into.. How does one go about "channel bonding multiple connections"?

Awesome, thank you for that resource.

I really appreciate that offer and I'm assuming I will undoubtedly get to a point where I will need to take you up on that. I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and order everything that you recommended. I typically like to research things a bit more before taking the plunge but in this...

Really appreciate the detailed insight into what you have done and the links that you have provided. I have never built a system from scratch all on my own, are there any DIY online resources for putting one together that you could recommend? I'm assuming my current case is big enough to fit...

I have some RAM coming today, which will double what I currently have from 16gb to 32gb. I have replaced/installed RAM before but I have never switched out a CPU, I have noticed in my task manager that my CPU does get bogged down during the open/times of heightened volatility (up to 80%+ at...

Just out of curiosity, what type of laptops would you recommend? I am actually in the market for one of those as well but it's not a priority compared to upgrading my trading rig. Still would be informative to see what others are using these days because I haven't shopped around for one of...

Yes I currently have a Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500G SCSI

Good to note on the DDR3 memory, thank you. Is there a way to check to see how many slots I have total/available and what type of sticks I have in my system without opening it up? I thought something like that would be easily visible within the device manager but I didn't see it anywhere as...

Thank you for your detailed response, really appreciate it. When you say "dual port video card" does that mean that that card can only handle 2x monitors? I currently run 7 monitors, 4x NVS 420 2x FX 570 + 1 onboard

Whereabout do you shop for these? I don't see any on the Dell Outlet page atm, only some T5820's...

Thank you everyone for your replies, it gives me some good info to consider/brainstorm on atm.. First thing I think I want to try is just doing a basic RAM upgrade from my current 16gb to 64gb, I'm currently using DDR3, do I have to stick with that or can I go up to DDR4 without any issues? So...

So I'm in the market for a new PC since the one I have is 5-6 years old at this point and for whatever reason my eSignal has been lagging a bit during fast moving markets (like around the open for instance), but I'm not super tech savvy or familiar with all the related component part lingo out...

I've had the same trading rig for the past 5-6 years now, and for the most part it runs fine but there are times when it seems to lag ever so slightly, so I've just started the research process of having a new one built and using my current one as a back-up. I'm just wondering what other tech...

Yes I am. I will send you a pm.

Hello all - Just curious if anyone is familiar with some kind of an online resource that has the capability of providing pivot points for individual stocks for the next trading session? I use Esignal and they do not adjust their pivot points until the open. There are certain strategies...

Hello all, My Nvidia NVS420 quad DVI card died on me, so I'm looking for a replacement. My dual DVI card still works but it's a really old card so I'm thinking of replacing that one too while I'm at it. I have a custom built system, so I think my motherboard has a lot of flexibility with...

Hello all - The subject says it all, just curious if anyone has a promo code for Trade Ideas that is currently valid? I used that program day in and day out about 10 years ago, but changed strategies since (more swing trading, less daytrading). However, I'm in the process of getting back...

Hello all - Just curious if anyone is aware of any prop firms in San Diego? I will admit that I haven't done a ton of research on this matter yet, but I have found that most of the firms that show up when doing a basic search are not actually located in San Diego, they are based elsewhere...
