Or run at 16 color. I can't tell a difference, but then my I have to wear
reading glasses or its all blurry...
But processor speed in combination with RAM are both VERY important.
I run winXPpro, and have found that minimum requirement is 2GB RAM, and the
faster the better processor.
3ghz with that and you will notice a world of difference. I have 32 charts
open, which is my max # without crashing.
33 charts and it crashes. I run dual xeon 3.2's with 4gb ram.
On my other machine, I run single P4 2.8 ghz / 2 gb ram- also with 32
charts, runs just fine. On busy days with lots of volume and fast market
will stress them all- you can see it.
Good Luck,
Marc
