<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>Additional to Chuck's observations, in simple terms, if you are down to
300 Mb of disc space on your new 2 Ghz machine I suspect when you are running
your Explorations then Windows XP Home operationg system is having to use
virtual memory which would be a very slow interaction with your hard drive.
Suggest you free up some disc space - at least another 1 or 2
Ghz.

You
keep referring to 1Gig and 2Gig PC's. I'm assuming that you are
talking about 1Ghz and 2Ghz and not 1Gbyte and 2Gbyte. In other
words, you are talking about processor speed versus
memory?
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

If
the 2Ghz PC is hyper-threaded and the 1Ghz PC is not, the (supposedly) faster
PC will run slower. If this is the case, it confirms my belief
that MetaStocks has not been programmed in such a way as to take advantage of
hyper hyperthreading.

<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

are:
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>1. Paging space.
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>2. Fragmentation of the paging space (defrag's don't usually
touch paging space).
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>3. Raw speed of hard discs.

I
hope this helps you.

[EquisMetaStock Group] Explorations Running Slower On Win
XPDoes anybody know what might be causing my 2Gig
Win XP Home Ed. machine to run Explorations slower than my 1Gig Win ME
machine?I'm using the exact same Exploration on the exact same
database of symbols. The exact same Exploration setup. Each
machine is Exploring in the exact same way.There's one noticable
difference: On the 1 Gig Win ME machine, the Exploration Status
window shows "Disk Space Remaining as 2047.7M where as on the 2Gig Win
XP Home Ed. the "Disk Space Remaining" is only 345.7M. I don't
know what this means nor why the big difference.Both machines have a
40Gig hard drive with more than half of the drive free and
defragged.The 1 Gig machine is about 25% faster than the 2 Gig
machine. I expected a dramatic increase in speed on the 2 Gig
machine, but didn't get it.As a comparison, my Excel program
runs 3 times faster on the 2Gig machine.I'd sure appreciate one
of you smart users to take a stab at this. So far, Tech Support
has not been able to come up with anything.Thanks
