Buying a new Trading PC.... this is whats in my shopping cart and cyberpowerpc

Quote from Bolimomo:

You mind a brutally honest opinion?

This box you just ordered, with an "AMD Phenom™II X2 555" chip, with passmark score around 2100, is very different from the CPU you cited in the opening post in July "AMD Phenom™II X6 1055T Six-Core CPU", which has a passmark score of 5182. The latter is 2.5 times faster.

And I honestly think the 40GB SSD is not much useful than just a $100+ spent.

In an analogy you have a car that has excellent shock absorbers but a VW engine. Why would the disk input/output speed matter that much if the CPU cannot keep up with the calculations?

Well at least I have excellent shock absorbers! Ya know what? It's a sunk cost now so I'm not going to worry about it. If I have issues with the performance, I'll know what the problem is. Next time I purchase a computer I won't make the same mistake. Thanks for the help and happy trading. :)
