sounds like overkill to me, but I've never opened 500 charts at once... ;)

I suspect though that one of 2 things will happen...

1) E-signal is single threaded (assumption) and your extra 6-7 cores will make no difference.

2) Bandwidth will be a limiting factor...

that's my 2 cents, I'm sure someone else might have more specific info for you...

- mnx

You might want to look at Multi Charts. It is designed for quad core. For that many symbols you want a product that is designed for multi core.

Esignal is single core only for now, plus there are alot of data lag complaints. I would recommend you look at MC with DTN IQ data. No one is perfect, but at this point Esignal seems far from it.
