I am thinking of buying an AMD X2 Dual Core PC. Two Questions. 1. Does TWS support Dual Core PC? 2. Whats the better buy? HP a1530n Intel Pentium D 820 Viiv Dual Core 2.8 Ghz 1 GB Ram 250 GB Hard Drive 17â Flat Panel $740 Vs. HP a1520n AMD Athalon 64 X2 Dual Core 3800+ 2.0 Ghz 1 GB Ram 250 GB Hard Drive 17â Flat Panel $700 I have a full time job, and will be trading on the side, so I am just looking for mid-high level PC, nothing to crazy. Thanks in advance.
IB TWS is a multi-threaded application, so it will benefit from a dual core processor. I think those computers are so similar it wouldn't really matter. I would go with the AMD-based, just because I support AMD, but either would be fine.
