Best multi-monitor PC's for day trading?

Discussion in 'Hardware' started by hirsi1, Aug 23, 2011.

  1. Is it a problem to run everything on a SSD? With Win 7 and TRIM does that manage the constant read and writes, so that running everything on a SSD is not a performance issue.

    Currently I am using 65 gigs of my 150 WD Raptor and don't expect to need much more space.

  2. No problem at all. The best performance from an SSD is at the 240-256GB size (and larger)... that's where "maximum parallelism" is first seen. Smaller SSDs have less parallelism and are therefore a bit slower.

  5. Care to explain the terms?
    T box, spf 30 ??

    Google returns nothing that makes sense.
    (T box leads to set top boxes, spf to sun protection factors:))

    How did you mount the lcds?

  7. Is that "+1" for acknowledgement of the low requirements for a trading computer (except when 5-6+ monitors)... or for you sharing OPs smug condescension?

  9. the +1 meant that i agreed that start up time is one of the least important factors in terms of computing requirements. i don't have condescension for anyone buying any computer period. people can make their own decisions after weighing all the facts from users from forums like this one.
