Dear All, Over the last few days, i have been trying to buy a off the shelf desktop for Trading purpose. But not convinced with any of the confugyrations offered by the dealers (based on what i have learnt by googling last few days). Need help...
1. What is the purpose of the computer? (Note: If you are planning to say multimedia, you will have to be more specific as all types of systems are capable of doing that)
A: Stock Trading – Display technical charts based on Data feeds for current day. More than 25 charts will be on updated at any given time (5 Hours per day). Backgroung processing for scans of 100s of shares (with huge historical data). Need to have a dual monitor. Should have provision to increase to 4 monitors in future. From google i understand that a 2d graphical card is sufficient. No gaming.
