Thanks.

#1 : can you trade ?
#2 : if answer no, then what are you going to do with that ( sounds more like a game setup )
#3 : if answer yes, then you are experienced & experienced traders very well know that there are companies out there build trading machines & most include all details on their we pages.

conclusion : how about to google "Trading Computers" ?

Consider AMD video card. It allows hooking up 6 monitors. Nvidia maxes out at 4.

I know you should go desktop when ever possible but I'm looking for a laptop upgrade and noticed the Dell workstations M4800 & M6800 support upto 4 monitors. Any other laptops that support more than 2 monitors from it's own graphics card.

A good computer doesn't make you a good trader. You can trade on mt4 on an almost ancient laptop or an old desktop for multi monitor solution. I don't understand why people think that they need a high end computer for trading, all you need is extra monitors and a video card with multiple hdcp/dvi out (or those little usb extra monitor outputs for laptop.)

If you are having a problem with performance in your current setup, format and reinstall windows. Update your version of Windows/Linux then do NOT install a real time scanning antivirus program (the most pointless thing you could do. Why? One word, Obfuscation, Google it) More likely than not it is your own operating system installation that is causing the performance issue rather than your hardware. If you have less than 6GB of ram, a 64 bit OS is useless, so forget it, install a 32 bit win7 or XP. If you have a PC older than 5 years, don't install win 8 (as a matter of fact, don't install Win8 anyway, thing is a resource hog)

The PC specs you posted are suited for a Balls-to-the-Wall gaming rig, nothing else really.
