Yes, a lot of programs aren't mult-threaded, but don't be too disheartened, intel has turbo boost technology which boost the speed of the single core if the other cores aren't being used.

Multithreading
MultiCharts is a multi-threaded application. This means that the more CPU cores your computer has, the faster backtesting and optimization in MultiCharts will work. With modern multi-core processors we can now meet traders’ rapidly growing demands for speed and efficiency in trading platforms.

So here's the breakdown of my shopping spree, comparing the original prices with what I eventually paid for it:

Good deal! You are king of shopping!

 

Boli, in terms of getting a decent deal, this was the best I could do. I saved more than I expected; guess it adds up.

I'm sure the same will be half the price by next year!

 

Sam... Terrific savings.

What an excellent build loaded with top parts and plenty of monitors.
Excellent you shared your shopping skills and build. It will help those who would like to take that step.

 

Agree - thanks for taking the time to share your journey.

Along the way, you mentioned finding a full Win 7 from an ebay vendor w/ good reviews. Did you purchase from him or elsewhere?

I have had this problem with sleep function before it was a harddrive that refused to come up when the computer came out of sleep mode. Hope that it helps. I just disabled sleep mode and used the PC for years.

 

I did a swap on this and will have to part with my previous mobo. However, the below link maybe of interest to you ;-)

This is the cheapest and most legit place you can buy your Win 7 from (you will need a .edu email address)

That's what I'm doing at present and it has worked like magic
