Use a Pentium 700 instead of Athlon
We run several 2000i and only the Athlon powered machine makes problems for
a while.
During weeks we changed many Motherboards and believe me I will never ever
use a Athlon.
256 is fine but 512 is better
The need of memory defense on how many Charts or Radarscreen rows you use
Example 100 Rows / Charts 256 MB is fine but if you plan to use 700 Rows you
need 512 MB
Win2000 and NT work speed if only half of physical memory is used.
Example : if Task manager shows 200MB of 256MB physical memory usage you
need more memory to speed up your system
And remember, not only 2000i need memory a lot as well data sever (DBC,
Satquote or whatever) and other applications.
It's expensive to have more memory but much safer
Use SCSI Hard drive if you plan to work with large intraday data's.
After we changed from Ultra DMA IDE drive to Wide SCSI we saw a double speed
in Maintenance and rebuilding index after server crash (tested with 1,2 Gig
data's and 1200 symbols)

Subject: Computer Spec for Realtime trading
Hi all,
I am about to buy a new system, and would like a little input regarding
system specification.
I will be running Windows 2000, and multiple trading apps.
Is there much benefit going for greater than 256mb ram, I was contemplating
going for as much as 512mb.
Also the processor I am considering is an Athlon 750.
Any suggestions welcome, thanks in advance.
