I did it!...I just configured and ordered a Athlon Dual Core from CyberPowerSystems

I have another traders system that I am dying to put on it....but I can't talk about it or I would have to kill you :)

Actually all I need is Oandas API...but then I do not know how to program it...and I will need to learn as it cannot be shared. My friend says the programmer does not need to know as it can be built with an open archtecture type of interface.

I should not even be talking about this as I believe in ethics between traders...

P.S. Arb systems with a 100% winrate over years is too good to be true...so I will not state it...I really do not know why
I do not run with this ball...

Have you put any of your forex systems on this?

I built it with a combination of new stuff at Fry's and stuff from Ebay but it was all new parts. Total was $1600 not including monitors which I already had.
 
We are moving back to Thousand Oaks in Southern California as soon as Wifey completes her degree...(its tough going back to school at our age).

Perhaps we could go out for a few root beers?...if your not too embarrassed of parking next to my simulated wood grain siding :)

P.S. Hey speaking of cars... Wifey and went and looked at one of those Mini-Coopers...they are so kewl..I wish they had those when I was in High School..

P.P.S. Of course we had to go look at Hummers too..

Quote from wilburbear:

Just got a AMD dual-core 4200 machine.

I have a few trading programs on my machine. I didn't listen to others posted here who said dual-core wouldn't make a difference unless applications were written on different threads. When different programs I have click in all at once, the Task Manager for the CPU capacity spikes to 50% (sometimes 52) and stays there for an instant, as if I'm maximizing one of the CPU's. Then it occured to me, I've essentally got two AMD 2.2 CPU's in two different computer boxes - and never the 2 shall meet.

Am I doing something wrong? Once I saw the task manager go to 68% as if the full power of the machine could be summoned all at once (which is what I want all the time), but I've forgotton what I was doing at the time. Most of the time it's 50% - one chip at a time gets the work load.

CPUs usually spike when a new program or function is launched... even to 100%. This is normal and not something to be concerned about.

Are you saying that ami broker hooks up to Oandas API?

What commercial programs hook up to Oanda's API? One of the drags is that you cannot hook up a program to Oanda and get the data. I have not seriously looked into their API
 
Quote from Schaefer:

Electric, if you're buying a complete unit, make sure you get a completely configured system, meaning all you have to do when you get it, is to flip the switch on. But if you're getting a half way assembled unit without O/S and proper drivers installed and configured properly for the components, then you're in for the house of pain.

It's okay if you're willing to take the time (have the time) and become familiar with the process of building a PC, but If you're going to take that route, then why order a system from Cyber when you could order piece by piece from NewEgg and learn to put together your own system in your own time.

The bottom line is this; if you're going to get a complete unit from Cyber or Dell or whatever, make sure to get a completely assembled and configured unit ready to rock with a flip of a switch. If you have to install your own, O/S, drivers and configure the system yourself, then might as well bite the bullet and learn how to put together a system from scratch and order the parts, one piece at a time from NewEgg or any other. It's not that hard these days and there are plenty of websites with step by step instructions. But in the end you'll know inside out about your PC and I think all online remote traders should have this knowledge.

Good luck with whatever route you choose to take and don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions :)

Correctamundo! The buyer needs to receive the rig configured as fully as possible in order to receive tech support from the OEM. In Dell's case, you have to restore your rig to the "condition it was delivered"... same RAM, optic drive, modem, etc... before they will help the buyer at all. They refuse to troubleshoot anything that could be a problem with something they didn't deliver.... can't blame 'em.
