{quote} Lol that's chinese for me When I ask PC sales bastards they tell me that yes you can but your system will be instable. For trading, I need a stable system and not getting every 5 minutes a message like " A FATAL ERROR OCCURED. YOU LOST ALL YOUR WORK. YOU SHOULD RESTART YOUR COMPUTER" Is it easy to install in a dual boot, whatever it means ?
I have just updated my system. A lot of the jargon sounded like chinese to me too when I started to research. It's not hard, though a little time consuming. I went to computers stores (don't use your large retail stores they will know jack shit about what trading is about or its requirements) and told them in general terms what I needed. They then printed a list out of the components they would use and their costs, ie motherboard, graphics card, cpu etc. I still didn't know what I was looking at but having a list and googling them I started to paint a picture. I also googled computer stores online. I actually came across a very helpful store in the U.S. (I'm in Australia) who answered my every Q. in depth then advised me against purchasing from them as the freight probably wasn't worth it. It really was an eye opener that some good guys are actually still out there (even more so from the states that contradicts previous experiences). I would like to recommend them but prob shouldn't post links in this forum. Anyway if googled will be one of the first in the list.
I personally would advise against using XP as it is becoming outdated and a lot of software will soon not be supported. Don't ask me about Mac though cos I have no idea. If you update your system use at least win 7.
My answer is probably a bit off your Q. (and long winded ) but I thought it maybe helpful if you or any are updating their full systems.

a decent trading computer just needs good graphics capabilities, lots of ram, and a quad core processor, should be fine. Maybe liquid cooling if you live in hot area with no a/c. MAC is shit for trading because MT4 not compatible along with its other lame features. MAC ment for little kids to surf on at libraries. So either latest windows(lots of viruses need software to control-slows your speed and costs more money) or Linux, everything free never a virus. Just need to get used to using Wine and some windows programs do not work just in case you have a huge ton library of software.
All posts are my personal opinion

That's precisely my problem. I pay a monthly fee to Esignal for receiving forex quotes (so you see that's not a problem for paying someone for building a good PC) I bought a software for linking those quotes to my chart platforms. Esignal stopped to update his FX software quotes for any OS superior to WinXP.

I want to keep at any cost my actual system (esignal fx quotes and my chart platform) with a new brand PC.

I'm a library rat or I was. I don't use MT4 and will never. So what I need is a good PC configuration running with XP.

Edit. I run from one porn site to another of course every day, but not with my trading PC, so the viruses are not a real prob.

i took a L at 3745 with a 3800 target. s/o at 3742,, the pair most times dont forget. many times when we break 3743 we go to 3728/29 or a little more. then go to 3800.. if that would happen 3832/42 would have to be considered, especially with 3788 still untouched
i missed the L here, pending was at 3720.5.. if it breaks today's high. after i will be looking to L a pullback to 3750/52 or lower up to today's low. (it still can go lower today). no surprise regardless in seeing 3750/52 again if the bears are here, we may see it twice again

Yes, will ask trading computers if it's not too much asking for a good PC configuration with powerful processor running with XP. That's all. I don't even need multiple monitors.

XP is outdated now and Microsoft will no longer be providing security updates next month. Win7 is stable and the best option available. Whatever you do, avoid Win8 like the plague. And Apple is shit, especially if you want to run Windows Boot. It overheats and nothing is optimized for Windows XP or Win7 so it runs a lot slower than the benchmarks for the native OS.

Don't have Trading Computers build a machine for you, they're ridiculously priced for what you get. Your best bet if you can't build your own system is getting a gaming system and installing a graphics card for multiple monitors. The ram and chip set in an off the shelf gaming system is sufficient for trading.

You'll save a lot of money going this way and have more than enough processing power.

lol, I haven't played any of the other BF games, so I'm real noob but when you have 6 core cpu just asking to be used to its fullest, was hard to refuse..... amazing graphics with high story buildings collapsing, choppers, jets and just bad ass gun fights, it is amazing and mind blowing what they can do now dayz. I remember playing Arcadian on the BBC and thought it was the shit.

ps i dropped u a pm with name of that computer store.

Yes, that was my initial idea, but they are sold with the plague installed in it, Win8.

You should give a try to BF 1. It's not only a game, it's like a cinema in wich you are the hero. At least, the salesman saw that I was plain noob and he said taste to the BF1, and I'm sure that you will come back to purchase the three others. He was right this Bastard.

Basically what I did. I have 4 monitor support with ability of another graphics card if I want more. It is best to build your own through a computer store, gaming computers are similar as luther mentioned. The online stores you find will be over priced so if you can find a local store will be better for any maintenance, questions etc.
