Hi Jenna and gemmers: from the article <<<, two processors, two monitors and a high-speed modem, according to sources close to the company. >>>>>>> Last March at Daytrading Expo, Compaq was the hardware company featuring the TWO processors tradestation at the expo. I spent some times with the Compaq people and asked them about the TWO processors where the second one will cost you as much as buying a second PC. The final answer was there is no software now available on the market to make use or smart enough to make use of the second processor. In other word it is better off to buy a second PC seperately. They told me, ie the Compaq people who tried to sell the DUAL processor -- to check out with the software company such as REALTick ( level II) or Omegaresearch (TRadestation) about whether or NOT that these softwares making use of their second processor. I told them that do they EVER run these softwares on their DUAL processor and benchmark them since they have all the utility and hardware to monitor .... The answer was NO and will be NO. Unless DELL is aggressively work with software companies to resolve my question that I had for the Compaq people ... BUT one thing for sure: I bought a laptop from Dell and the port replicator from Dell and is very happy with their 24 hour service as well as their NO charge on site service. No doubt they have a stellar growth quarter.

Re TradeStation: One day we're going to have the ultimate trading software that incorporates the best elements of MetaStock / TradeStation with the integrated order execution of a direct access broker; this type of software will essentially close the loop. For example, suppose I have a number of backtested trading scans / strategies. I'd like to run them in real-time, automatically generating the orders and submitting them through an ECN. The positions are tracked in real-time, and stop losses and/or profit targets become active at the same time the order is submitted. Maybe someone can convince MetaStock to develop an integrated order execution capability and use the Pristine ESP functionality for delivering real-time alerts. Here's a laundry list for the ultimate trading software: 1. System Development / Backtesting (TradeStation) 2. Technical Analysis (MetaStock) 3. Real-Time Scanning (Telescan, First Alert) 4. Real-Time Alerts (Pristine ESP) 5. Quotes and Charts (QCharts) 6. Integrated Order Execution (RealTick) 7. Position Management (TradeStation) Unfortunately, TradeStation suffers from poor implementation (crashes several times a day) and expensive pricing; it's the best "concept" software out there ;-). I wish everyone could develop a compressed feed as Quote.com did with QCharts (in contrast with RealTick, a pig that feeds at the bandwidth trough). Okay, how about another wish? Custom scans for ESP! The ESP integration with RealTick is excellent. Now how do we get RealTick to strike a deal with MetaStock to use their charting / TA engine? First Alert: love the simple, real-time scans but the charting is an after-thought. MetaStock: the Explorer in real-time is too slow (as stated in documentation). QCharts: When are they going to get a server we can count on? Forgive the Finnegan's Wake-like ramblings. Still holding out for the ultimate trader's software. WS
