Should I buy a new computer for Trading?

**GFusa** · 05-27-2009, 16:33

I have AMD and Intel, pretty much no difference. They both get slow after a few years.

Whatever you do, don't buy a Mac, pieces of garbage, truly, and overpriced...

**Perry** · 05-30-2009, 01:19

AMD is not that bad, intel is just overpriced. Beats the hell out of a Mac though

U can't trade on a Mac very well

I'd be lost on a Mac trying to trade. Where's the second mouse button? I'm still stuck on that sad fact.

a good way to do it is buying a new one with your forex earnings. you will feel great after that.

**Jones** · 07-15-2009, 04:19

I feel great when I put my Forex earnings in my bank and watch them collect interest

I do the same!
Forex is my side-job hehe, and it is a great feeling knowing that my hobby gives me money and it is there, resting for when I need it hehe
Although I think it’s a great encourage buying sth with it, makes it feel real and you kind of materialize all that past work in front of the computer

Yeah I think this is the solution.. If you indeed have multiple Monitors then a lot of video cars is also needed to 'make it more faster with its work speed.

If your computer works well then you dont need to buy for another set..
The memory is more important that's one good thing you have to consider..

My next machine will have the absolute best in graphics cards with the most graphics memory possible. Having 20+ charts open at any given time tests your machines physical and graphics memory.

My computer is on its way out. Too much surfing on shady sites installing things without my knowledge. That's why I plan to have a desktop dedicated to trading charts and a laptop to do all the surfing and trade entering, etc. etc.
