Pentium 90 with just four charts on two monitors ,my back up data machine it
works well, without flicker but I remember all the fooling around I did to get
that.

Here is a link to a computer using an AMD
XP-2000 (1.66 GHz actual clock speed) processor for $260.00. This
is a "bare bones kit" which means that it does not include drives ( hard,
floppy, CD or DVD). You simply unplug your existing drives and install
them in your new computer (not hard to do). It also does not include Video
card or modem. The modem you have is probably fine unless it is
very old, however the video card is probably junk unless you have recently
up-graded it. You need at least a 64 Mg. card ($49.95) for graphic
applications such as charting. It includes 124 MB DDR memory and is
upgradeable to 3 GB!!!! An additional 256 MB of memory is
$70.00. <A

You can add 2 of these if you wish or go to 512 MB for $173 each <A

keep an open slot for future addition.
The advantage of a "bare bones
kit", besides the low price, is that since you are keeping your
existing hard drive the new computer will immediately have all your
programs, files, old e-mails, links, shortcuts, in other words
everything, loaded. The disadvantage is you will need to plan to
have a weekend available to swap the drives. It will probably take
less time but allow 2 days just in case.
Back up everything. You should not have
any problems but if an accident occurs (drop the hard drive and it's a door
stop) it is better to be safe.
Now you just have to convince the wife you
REALLY need a new computer instead of that gold necklace. One bad trade
because of a slow (or frozen) computer will cost you more than the $400.00
spent to upgrade.
Good luck and good trading,
Ray Raffurty
P.S. I have no association with Tiger
Direct except as a customer. Also they have other kits and complete
computers that might suite you better so check out the web
site.

Subject: [RT] TS 2000i ....slow
data
I am using TS 2000i on a Pentium 700 machine
on a chart with a fairly big and complicated els file that is good at
identifying trends. The size of the file seems to slow down the drawing of
the chart. The chart is usually a few minutes behind the actual price. I
know it is the els file that is slowing it down because a blank chart
seems to work fine. I recently upgraded from 240 to 640 mbs of memory and
that did seem to help, but only a little. A friend has the same study on a
machine with less memory and it seems to work Ok. Its too bad because the
siftware has been very helpful.
Any suggestions?
