Hi Tomasz,
I thought that cache was the most important part for running backtests
quickly. What other things will use up non-cache memory? Arrays and
indicators in AFL?
Will I definitely need to convert my 5.29 database to 5.22 so that I
can use 64 bit AB? What's the best way to do this?
Thanks,
Chris

Pro 64 bit edition, and now I realize that I might have a problem. I
have been using the latest beta version of 32 bit AmiBroker (5.29.2),
but the 64 bit version of AmiBroker is older (5.22). Does this mean
that I cannot use the same database with these two versions? A new
database format was introduced starting with 5.27 beta which is not
backward compatible. Is there a plan to update the 64 bit version of
AmiBroker to use the newer database format soon?

true? What's the point of running 64 bit AB when it can't use more than
4GB of RAM?
