New Pc Needed

The point is.....why spend so much money and overkill......the pipeline will be the limiting factor for most traders, no matter how much processor you have.....

LongShot is right

I'd also look into getting a hyperthreaded processor. It helps when having multiple applications going. I think dell offers 2.4 or even 2.0 Ghz HT processors on thier systems.

512mb RAM, Windows XP PRO and nice big monitors with high refresh rates.....IMHO a used PentuimIII is just as good as a new PentiumIV with a broadband connection.

Is XP Pro really better? I have heard quite a few complaints about it. Seems some people think Home is the way to go.

Tell me about the advantages of pro.

Some say the file handling is better and its more stable because of that.

Some say that multiple monitor use is better supported.

To be honest with you I cannot say that I have tried both.....I just went with Pro mainly because of the file handling partitioning.

Pro is all I can recommend publically as I am trying to share what I know, not what I think....but perhaps Home is alright.

More stable is always good. Thanks, ES.

if your needs are simple and you dont need or want a "screamer" or spend a ton just your avg PC for trading dell is way to go.

recently bought a dell 4600 loaded for 400 bucks inc/shipping (my 1st dell) and i'm quite please with its performance. no super duper screaming game machine but inexpensive trading machine. works great.

now, if you want a screamer i'd either build one along lines of sharky:

or go here:

maybe top dell workstations are screamers, {shrug} i don't know, no experience with any of those.

oh, and i do have a system from these guys too, they do nice work:

Perhaps this place might compete with Dell

Very simple. If you're now on 2000 then don't switch. For a new install, if you don't like the M$ activation nuissance then get 2000.

Otherwise get XP.
