Well this is the new Baby it’s a little overkill, it will only be running Ts data feed.
Execution platform on a Different computer. I’m a scalper and a tape reader. I trade Us. Ty Corn , some wheat lately. scalp the ym/es. Can’t have my system freeze on Fed day or when the market decides to move 200 points, outa the blue.
I’m tired of the junky quality these trading computer companies Hawk, just junk owned a couple.
Have left me in the ditch before. So decided to do it right.
I don’t need a lot a disc space not really storing anything,
I Iike the penryn iIntel only 45 watts less heat
Anything less heat good! HAHa
8600 video boards really overkill for trading really only need the7300 not going to be rendering anything.
But like the fact the 8600 are PCI express 16 ‘s so have faster bus speeds. The fsb 1330 is the important part because the 780 tcp processor communicates via this bus to the Cpu. Windows treats tcp as idle process, so when you get…200 points of market movement its tic data crushes win tcip. If you get the check sum junk off the Cpu and the windows stack, problem goes away.
