So we fried a computer today and it's pretty much toast. The whole house smells absolutely terrible now
But this brings up a good opportunity since we obviously need a new computer. The computer that fried was NOT my primary trading computer, but seeing as how everything is so fast these days this brings up the question of whether or not I should take this opportunity to buy a new one. The one I'm currently using would just become a play computer for basic applications.
So assuming I go with a new trading computer, what should I look for? What brands do you all like? XP or is Vista now compatible and fast enough to work with most trading platforms? What else should I keep in mind?
I hope some valuable information can pass through this thread so anyone looking for a new computer in the future can resort to this thread. Thanks everyone.
