Re[2]: TS4 runs much better on a P3

[Jimmy Snowden <jhsnowden@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You only assign TS4 to one CPU.  TS2ki works much better using both CPUs.  It was actually built for two cpus.

Bob,

Do you assign the GlobalServer to one processor and TS charting to
another? Or all TradeStation related programs to one processor and
other programs to the second processor?

I recently aqquired a dual core AMD processor and am experimenting
with running TS 2000i on it.

Thanks,
Hinton
