Jackson,
Does TS2Ki have an option setting which allows you to set its Windows priority
when TS2Ki runs optimizations? I know other charting software can do this.
What is the most amount of memory I would need when I run WinXP, TS2Ki,
Radarscreen (tracking 500 tickers), Word XP, and IE 6.x? I want enough memory
to keep swapfile usage to a minimum.
Daniel.
