Should I buy a new computer for Trading?

[forexninja]

it will make you far much more in the long run. Just sucks when you start out having nothing almost in this industry.

Maybe Forex itself isn't for public consumption.

I couldn't have said it any better.

Depends on what kind of software you pplan on running, most charting programs are CPU light but Memory intensive

[perfectuser]

probably something like 2gb, 4gb ddr3 ram, no less than triple processor 2.3ghz, and decent graphics card if you're doing more than 1 monitor. when all the charts are up, it'll eat your GPU and RAM

processor will be more for calculations and tasks , so you can have multiple programs open at the same time, etc.

Perfect, why would you need anything more than a dual core to trade? You don't need the computer of death to run some simple programs, what you described is like a low-end gaming machine. lol

[perfectuser]

well, dual core are on their way out, but if you dont plan on playing a single game, then you can get away with a dual core duo 2 that is 3.0ghz, anything less is just not smart imo. really, the processor will allow for faster calculations, this could mean mere seconds compared to a minute , and could translate into losing $$$$

buying a new computer u will enjoy trading more and more)))))))))

I use a Matrox Dual2Go.
You can add 2 independent monitors to a laptop, cost about 100 quid.
In all honesty, i only use it when i've taken a lady out for dinner, leave the computer on, 3 screens of charts usually impresses the hell out of em

shallow i know, i'm embarrased to be me at this point

Well played, sir. Well played indeed. The ladies love the dual monitors. I hope you get a good return on that investment

You see... I have this 2 year old set up, AMD dual core 4400, 4gb ram, rapter drive, alot of extras, but it seems to be getting slow, my charts sometimes crash and I can't even play games on it anymore I haven't blown off steam with a cool game since Christmas!

What do you recommend?

I thing you can change with a new laptops with integrated video card such ASUS; Toshiba, or Fujitsu.

I just bought the new laptop some time ago (about two months) and I still don't like trading on it. The laptop is fine, but internet connection is too slow... I'm thinking about the router in my flat so I can use WiFi, but that will be probably even worse...
