Daytrading Configuration...software requirements My software requirements are as follows: TradeWind Software (interprets real time cable data feed from BMI and creates charts and alerts) 486 PC or better,8 MB RAM, at least 100 MB free on the hard drive. Windows 95 or NT. Of course, the software will run faster with a higher end computer, the above is just the minimum. Castle Securities Kill Key (level II quotes, execution of trades) Requires 64 MB Ram, P-200 or better, Windows 95 or NT. This is my sole reason for my system, except for searching the web. I'm not a gammer, since the stock market game takes up all of my time. I'm discovering that the hard drive may not be really important for what I'm doing. My data is constantly streaming, so CACHE is of most important along with lots of RAM. Thanks ZeusPaul for helping me with this. S.W.

This is what DAYTRADING SOFTWARE looks like. A stock trader usually has several monitors with charts all over the place. I'm looking to get a multimonitor card so that I don't have build several computers. Here is DAYTRADERS set-up......very cool. Everyone should spend some time there, he has an awesome site and explains Level II and Real Tic Software. phactor.com S.W.

EIDE.or ..SCSI....link to some good reading PC Lube and Tune has quite a few good articles pclt.cis.yale.edu EIDE or SCSI pclt.cis.yale.edu Introduction to PC Hardware pclt.cis.yale.edu How to plan, partition, install, and remove DOS, OS/2, NT, and other operating systems on the same disk at the same time. pclt.cis.yale.edu Surviving the next Operating System (written in 1996 but still good reading) pclt.cis.yale.edu From the EIDE or SCSI article I learned that two EIDE harddrives can be accessed at the same time if each is set as the primary drive. The downside to this design is a speed penalty if a CD ROM is accessed at the same time and it is on one of the EIDE channels. Zeuspaul
