Im a day trader and my trading programs run best on XP. Im in the
process of purchasing a new computer with Quad Core?
is Quad Core a good setup for XP, I would like to have minimum of 2
screens . The programs are designed for data feed and number
calculations. I have 20 different charts configured on 2 screens
running all day. I also have 10-20 different markets I watch
simutaneously with one computer.
What is going to be the best computer cinfiguration for XP in this
type of envirement.
Doubtful you will see much benefit (given what you have) from the quad-core
beyond 'just having more processing power". (Don't take that wrong - never
a bad thing.)
Sounds more to me like you need video memory and main system memory. I
would suggest some quad capable video setup with 768MB+ video card(s) and a
64bit OS (if your applications can run on it) with 4+GB main system memory
(8GB likely good.)
The dual/quad core processor choice - I would make it on price-point.
That is - given your "environment"...
