Let me qualify my statement since I was asked about in PM. There are indicators I am starting to use that require accurate time/sales data and NT 7 is still not going to store this info historically, whereas some other platforms due.
A good programmer can fix it themselves. Ninja like most software designers are too narrow minded to see the benefit volume plays into accurate chart analysis.
More or less an i7 with dual channel memory. (i7 has triple channel memory). Different CPU socket and (cheaper) motherboard.
And no Hyper-Threading technology - i7 has 8 lanes of traffic, i5 has 4. the i5 is the new QuadCore Technology
Hi Thanks, all, for your feedback and input. Seems sensible to get an i5 box early next year to replace my three-year-old E6400 for trading.
It's gotten to the point where cores in traditional CPUs no longer help me. I need several hundred cores or even a cluster of these, and it is silly for me to buy a whole computer for this when either a GPU or an FPGA would do the trick. This is the only technology that can appease me today: http://www.nvidia.com/object/preconfigured_clusters.html I don't remember the last time I was this excited waiting for a product: http://www.nvidia.com/object/fermi_architecture.html
A friend of mine is beta testing this with Google's new OS with amazing results. I'm in your corner on wanting one of me own.
1 core for buys 1 core for sells 1 core for fill reports 1 core for porn lol. just get an i5 box and stop asking dumb.
