I would like all RT3 users to show and share what computer specs they are currently using. (And if the current specs are doing fine for the varoius programs they run daily, and if they would like to upgrade any particular component which they think may be a weak link to overall system performance)
I am using the full RT3 package meaning I can have unlimited charts, L2 boxes, minders and so forth. - I usually open 1x L2box with time-sales ticker window, 2x 3min intraday charts;1 candlestick, 1 line, 6x daily 200 days charts, orderbook, position minder, 4x minders, symbol info, internal RT3 news window, a/c info. I also use Talnet, window's system performance, mirc.
Intel PIII 866, 256k ATC slot type (X1)
Intel 820 chipset supporting dual CPU slots
512MB PC800 non-ECC RDRAM (2X256)-I am planning to migrate these 2 rimms to a future P4, perhaps when it reaches 2Ghz or more.
Appian Graphics Jeronimo 2000 PCI 32MB (X3)
NEC LCD1810 18.1 panel display (x4)- planning to add a 5th 19" CRT for IRC chatroom, Talnet and system performance monitoring.
Altec Lansing ACS495 speakers
Normal 104-keys keyboard, membrane type, hardwired via PS/2
Normal 2-button scrolling mouse, mechanical ball type, hardwired via PS/2 (I try to avoid infra-red peripherals as well as optical mice)
ADSL connection tested to be able to download upto 1600-1800kbps if the hosting server makes available b/w.
HP Laserjet2100M for printing charts,etc.
WinNT4 sp5 - I am not yet using win200pro because I know NT4 provides the effective memory management that RT3 critically needs, yet is leaner than w2k and uses less cpu cycles thus leaving more remaining cpu power fot RT3. I will consider w2k when i upgrade to P4 2Ghz or above.
Thats my specs & thoghts above, what's yours?
