What would be the negative/consequence of not having enough ram/ slow processor, or bad video card? Would your trades execute slower, or would the programs be sluggish?
Hi newguy1, I had sent you a pm yesterday about a different question. In that pm I told you some basic stuff that I have on my laptops. Regardless...I'm no computer geek nor can I recommend any specific component on the market. Therefore, all I can say is stuff like if your going to use Camtasia... Have a minimum of 1 gigabyte of memory to prevent sluggishness in your other programs and in Camtasia. Especially when doing live-recordings on multiple monitor setup. Yet, I cannot tell you what is the best type of memory to buy or what's the best type of video card to get. Nor will I tell you what's the best laptop or desktop...I simply do not know your specific needs and even if I did... All I can say is what I have...which I've already mention some basic components in that pm on one of my laptops. I know some traders that buy systems designed for gaming. I know other traders that buy systems that's designed for graphic designers or professional multi-media use (this is me). Also, how do you know if what you currently have isn't suitable ??? First, I do a lot of multi-media work that along with trading on my systems. My old systems would freeze up once in awhile after having opened and using 2 or 3 graphic heavy programs for more than a few hours. Also, once in awhile...maybe a program would crash or just become extremely slow to respond as the day went by until I was forced to reboot. My new systems (more powerful) with the same programs loaded...prior problems don't exist. NihabaAshi
