RE: Can TS2Ki use dual processors?

["Jimmy" <jhsnowden@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jim,

Omega told me before TS2k was released that it does support dual processors.
Based on that I bought a dual processor machine.  I can quite clearly see it
makes use of the dual processors.  It is not hard to check.  If you have or
get a dual processor just open the Windows task manager then left click on
ts32.exe and click on Affinity.   If both processors are not checked then
check them.  Do this on Server.exe, ORQuote.exe etc.  They should all be
checked.  Then look at performance during the open or better yet run an
optimization.  You will see that both processors are working harder.  If the
cost of two processors is in your budget you will find a boost in
performance.  I don't know if it is worth the money but it is nice.

Jimmy

I have been told that, in order to effectively make use of dual processors,
software must have been specifically designed to take advantage of a second
processor.  Can Tradestation 2000i take advantage of dual processors (Dell
PIII 733MHz) under Windows 2000?

Thanks in advance for your help on such a sad day.
