Does any one use a computer with 2 quad xeon proccessor for charting. I am looking to buy one to open up 500 charts on esignal. Any imput would be great. Thanks
sounds like overkill to me, but I've never opened 500 charts at once... I suspect though that one of 2 things will happen... 1) E-signal is single threaded (assumption) and your extra 6-7 cores will make no difference. 2) Bandwidth will be a limiting factor... that's my 2 cents, I'm sure someone else might have more specific info for you... - mnx
You might want to look at Multi Charts. It is designed for quad core. For that many symbols you want a product that is designed for multi core. Esignal is single core only for now, plus there are alot of data lag complaints. I would recommend you look at MC with DTN IQ data. No one is perfect, but at this point Esignal seems far from it.
How about 8X Quad processor? http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1816230#post1816230
