Depending on the exploration and database
size I would say that the major constraint would be disk IO speed. Things that
can impact this are obviously disk, interface cards (scsi and IDE) and less
obviously the location and size of page file and the layout of the database on
the disk. I would concentrate in the differences between the two machines at
this level first, memory second (somewhat dictates IO through page file) and
processor last.
I also agree with <font

>huck, I would be
surprised if Metastock was written for Hyperthreading yet as the tools have not
been available for very long.

interesting!

<font size=2 color=blue
face=Arial>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 size=2 color=blue

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.

things that can be quite different between the PC's are:

Paging space.

Fragmentation of the paging space (defrag's don't usually touch paging space).

Raw speed of hard discs.

Explorations Running Slower On Win XP
<font size=2
face="Courier New">Does anybody know what might
be causing my 2Gig Win XP Home Ed. <font size=2
face="Courier New">
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 much,
John
