Now that I am just about trading full time, my main PC has become a dedicated trading computer. That only leaves me with a clunky second PC (6-years old) for doing offline optimizing. And it's waaay too slow.
So I am in the market for a new PC, and want to get something powerful, but don't want to overpay for stuff that won't be used. For example, 8GB of RAM sounds great, but if WinXP only uses 4GB (or 3?) then I imagine the other 4 GB just goes to waste?
If I plan to use this PC mainly for offline optimizing and backtesting, what are the recommended specs? I want as much speed as I can possibly get. My optimizations tend to be humongous, taking days on a quad core.
Any hardware gurus please feel free to chime in:
- RAM?
- Quad-core vs Eight-core?
- OS?
- HD type (flash vs mechanical)?
- any other hardware/software suggestions for increasing speed?
Thanks!
