<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Ton Maas wrote a very helpful description of his wishlist
just a few weeks ago.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Included here for your reference.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>List of items to be considered when upgrading:<BR><BR>1.
-Win2000 for OS (it will put Win95/98 where 3.11 is now)<BR>2. -Most modern
Motherboard available, and on it, its build-on own most modern
hardware:<BR> a. PipeBurst's(channel)
capacity size (currently think largest is
512kB),<BR>
(eg the one(1) "tunnel" (tube/pipe/channel) where all the I/O data traffic,
between<BR>
BIOS -> Processor -> RAM -> disk and <-<-<-(vise versa),
has to go through)<BR> b. 500+Mhz or
higher Processor, preferably Intel iii or iv<BR>3. -SCSI as standard for Hard
Disk, preferably also multi disks, and assigning
Windows<BR> to have its large own
stack on it too<BR>4. -Fastest Video-card that is
available<BR> (with on it the largest
amount of Memory capacity chip(s))<BR>5. -Largest RAM that motherboard can hold
(eg that can be fitted in the slots on
motherboard)<BR> and of the most
recent standard (S-DRAM I believe) that is available
<BR><BR>Preference sequence is so choosen, as your OS (preferably Win2000) will
determine what<BR>type of hardware is (and will be) standard required.<BR>Then
adding the above mentioned hardware to the PC (system), will truely speed up and
improve<BR>the overall (and programs singly specific) performances giantly for
the better.<BR><BR>Therefore, best is to wait untill Win2000 comes out (Oct99 is
the target release date), and<BR>in the mean time, to also read up on it, also
to read up on the above mentioned hardware<BR>in detail and as to why the above
choosen hardware particularly will also speed/improve<BR>things for you "now
much for the better".<BR>Waiting for Win2000 release, will also give you
(plenty of) time to safe for this (JUMBO)<BR>PC-set, as it will not be cheap,
but then again, now investing in an upgrade will be a waste<BR>of good time and
good money (eg Intel is already about to beta-release a 750Mhz processor,<BR>and
as in their laboratories also a 1000Mhz for capacity is the current developed
focused-on<BR>processor (but unfortunately not as yet to be released soon).
Incredible speeds that already<BR>have been reached. And:<BR>100+ GB Hard Disks
are also already being tested in labs.<BR>20+Mb Video-cards seems to be peanuts
for the manufacturers.<BR><BR>The above has got me to not open my wallet at the
moment, eg until desperatly required:<BR> 1. on a breakdown of my
current PC or<BR> 2. when ready sorting out the above
hardware(through endless info-ing)<BR>
AND/OR<BR> 3. when my current system stops functioning "anymore" (eg
due to the in future to be
expected<BR> newer larger program's
sizes or program's other <burden on> the system requirements).<BR>Until
than, I would (advise to) wait (and I, for one, will continue on to focus on the
market(s), and<BR>on the site will get myself informed on the above "much
better+reasonably reachable" hardware).<BR><BR>Regards,<BR>Ton Maas<BR><A

Processor<BR><BR><BR>> Hi,<BR>> <BR>> I am about to upgrade my current
PC which is an NEC PII 233mhz. I am<BR>> not an expert when t comes to
hardware and therefore seek views as to an<BR>> appropriate upgrade.<BR>>
<BR>> Its main use would be for running metastock pro, excel, word,
netscape<BR>> etc and it would be part of a LAN network. I don't think
I would be<BR>> using it for any heavy duty graphics.<BR>> <BR>>
Browsing the shelves of Comp-USA it looks like my choices are between an<BR>>
Intel Celeron, PII or PIII. Can anyone give some suggestions and
in<BR>> particular describe the differences between the 3 processors?
Whatever<BR>> the choice, I would have a minimum of 64meg or RAM and would
prefer to<BR>> use win95.<BR>> <BR>> Also as a bechmark, which Celeron
chip would be the equivalent to my<BR>> current PII 233mhz?<BR>> <BR>>
Email direct if you prefer. Thanks in advance.<BR>> <BR>> Essan

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I know it has been some discuss abaut performance and "virtual disc" ,

My thanks to you and your brother for clarifying this chapter in Jurik's
book.
Some chapters in the book are worth reading. This one is not. A book for
traders should not require a ph.d. (piled higher and deeper) in statistics
and data mining.
When I recently looked at a book on data mining, I felt like somone who can
barely read Dick and Jane, and the teacher hands me a book on Sibling
Relationships in a Middle Class American Family, and asks for a book report
on it.
Warm regards
Lionel
