wow!!!
i was just getting ready to buy a 1G system as
i was having the same memory problem...
now, may be all i need is win 2000 or NT...
***hey people, let do a survey on TS.PRO speed and resourses:
- load up 20 5-15 min 10 days back charts 4 per workspace, 5 workspaces
- make some charts with the same symbols to check in they read same prices
- load up some canned indicator such as MACD and stochastics
- load up a some canned system
- make a separate workspace with a quote screen and the alert tracking
center
- take a look at the resourse meter in heavy market, like on the open or
close
- post the results: slow or ok, resourse read out, problems, etc.
- post your machine and operating system configuration
let's do that? so that we could figure out if there is really a memory
problems or need better hardware...
this is very important as we should know what hardware an OS we need for
the job.
let's do that tomorrow, shall we?
bilo.
