If you are into dual processor systems, and don't mind
building your own, www.2cpu.com is the best
news & community site available. If anyone is thinking of getting a dual CPU
system, they can go to 2cpu forums and see what the common setups and
issues are for their area of use. Generally, home-built systems or build-to-spec
(i.e. ask an experienced person to build it) will give you the best of all
words, assuming you can tolerate mucking around with hardware. Everyone,
including boutique brand builders all build with same or similar hardware.
Proprietary hardware (when it comes to PC's) is not worth the headaches.

processor - will it help?
In
the response below I posted a link to a company that claims to offer some very
high end systems. In doing some research I've found some controversy regarding
this company and wanted to make you all aware of it.

If
you happen to be considering this company please do your own due
diligence! Here are some links:

I
have a dual system. AB will not take adavantage of the dual
processors. However, you can run 2 copies of AB and achieve time
savings. BUT, you cannot run 2 copies on the same machine if you
are wanting use automation via the OLE/Com interface as only the first copy
will be controllable this way.

If
you want to run 2 copies via automation then you should buy 2 machines and
run a copy on each.

If
you want to run only 1 copy of AB then you're better off having a single
processor. If you want the ultimate in speed then you can buy systems
that are liquid cooled and are overclocked. If you want to know more about
this send me a private note.

[amibroker] Dual processor - will it help?I am
considering buying a dual-processor CPU system to help reduce the wait
time for backtests among other things. On tomshardware.com (<A
href="">http://www6.tomshardware.com/cpu/200203131/dual-10.html)
it says:"This comparison between the two workstation platforms
from AMD and Intel clearly shows that dual operation does not
necessarily mean increased speed for all applications. Rather, you
need software that has been specially adapted to multiprocessor
operation, so that the load is equally distributed between the two
CPUs."Can anyone shed some light on whether Amibroker is able to
take full advantage of a dual-processor system and perhaps reduce the
wait time for backtests/explorations considerably (ideally reduce it
by 50%) ?ThanksgSend BUG REPORTS
