I have been around computers for close to 30 yrs, both hardware and
software. The biggest one thing you can do for any system is to add memory.
WHY? Because as soon as ANY program has to be swapped out to disc because it
doesn't have physical memory, regardless whether it is the program itself or
the data it is using (ie, GS) that takes a LOT of overhead time to do that.
It can make a system appear to lockup for periods of time until it has moved
stuff it doesn't need out and moves the stuff it is trying to access in.
Not saying faster MBoards with dual processors, etc aren't a good thing.
They are! But as you add more symbols to TS, regardless of the revision, you
need more memory, period.
I build my own systems, and currently have a single processor(2.4ghz), ASUS
board with 1g of ram.
My two cents!

Subject: Re: Off topic motherboards
Not sure if it was me, but I got dual (intel) xeon 3.2g -533fsb -1m
my motherboard is an intel se7501 wv2
4g ram kvr266x72rc25/1024 ddr1
dual 200 g sata hd's
the guy that built it at the time (april 04) claimed it was the best that
you could get.(for a dual) Of course that was 10 months ago.
I am delighted with its performance,
I can run a bunch of different programs at once.
However- I still have to shut down ts2ki ver0771 at least once every day or
2-
doing so
helps (just- helps) that problem of 'freezing' where data just stops-
(hence the need for monitoring and alerting when data stops being collected
...referenced in previous posts)
But I am very, very happy. This system replaced my last one from '99-
A 550mhz amdk7 on an aseus (sp?) board with 768mb ram.
It started crashing sometimes 3+ x's/day.
I collect <200symbols.
Now I can have one layout open with 40 charts and be ok- save the daily
closing/opening of the program.
I tried to open another layout with around 15 charts and it froze it with
that stupid
blahblah something critical error shutdown ts or gs "can't reference memory
at:??##$$@F@@> You know the one...
Best,
Marc Miller
