What is the difference between a gaming computer and a forex computer?

admin — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 09:36:16 +0000

I’m thinking of building a forex computer, and it seems like I may as well just build a gaming computer, but there are special quirks of the forex computer. Can anyone tell me what that would be?

The software for data delivery is probably more important, or just as important as the computer.

What you’re trying to overcome with speed is data bottlenecks. With gaming, it is graphics data problems. All of the moving objects and colors of a game are graphics issues that should be handled by the graphics board rather than the CPU. Obviously, a dual core Quad is going to be better than a single. But you need a good graphics card with lots of onboard memory.

With a trading machine, you’re handling lots of data coming in from outside the computer, processing that data into many different charts and calculating indicators. The graphics is not the problem of a gaming machine. The problem is when there’s a flood of data, like when there’s a report, or around the open of different markets, when markets go wild. I’ve had computers completely freeze for several minutes when extreme volatility situations arise. Sometimes I would have to reboot to get control back, and that can take ten minutes to get back up and running with everything updated and functioning again; obviously, that won’t work for a trader. The software should have a method to throttle that data, because you don’t need every tick, estpecially when the input data is a thousand-fold what it was a minute ago. If you’re using a web browser, rather than a dedicated trading program downloaded to your computer, you have no control over the data feed. A good trading platform like Realtick or Tradestation, will have at least 3 or 4 different methods of sampling and throttling to control high volumes of data. NinjaTrader does a good job, but I’ve got a super fast computer, so I never see any glitches.

There are several informational and learning websites. If you watch their trading videos, you’ll see what they’re using.

What are the most important specs in a computer for gaming.?

admin — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 16:40:09 +0000

I read an article written in 2003 that RAM and Video Card are the most important. Now that computer games are so much more advanced it would be awesome if someone could give me a ranking of component importance to help me decide what things to add to a new computer.

The thing that make
any pc for gaming is
graphics card.gaming
is 75% job of graphics card and 25% job of
a cpu then ram have
the priority.always
invest more on your
GPU than your CPU.4
gb of ram is plenty
for gaming this days.
more than 4 gb won’t have impact on gaming as no games
utilies more than 4 gb
ram.

so your first priority
should be a better
graphics card.

Is computer gaming addiction a reason to end a marriage?

admin — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 15:47:05 +0000

My husband spends ALL of his free time playing a certain computer game, I talk to him about it until I’m blue in the face but nothing changes. It’s gotten so bad that everytime I look at him I feel nothing but contempt.

Present him something – that’s more fun than computer games.

problem solved.
