In this world of 3d it looks like 2d is forgotten. I have an ATI 1900xtx for my gaming rig but also do financial trading.
For this machine running Windows 2000 I currently have an AGP workstation card PNY 900XGL (128MB-dual DVI)and a PCI quad card PNY NVS 400(4 port VGA, 64MB) hooked up to 6 LCD's all this machine does is look at financial foreign currency data, 2d graphic charts. I am running a 2.4 Ghz P4 overclocked to 2.88. 2 gig ram on an ASUS motherboard. SATA I Hdd.
Is ther a bottleneck for 2d output other than the current PCI graphic card? I want to change views from looking at a set of 6 views of say the Yen to looking at a set of 6 views of the Euro but it takes quite a while.
Is the PCI bus saturated with the power of the current GPU's of the current video cards that it does not make a difference?
Do I need to look at a faster CPU would SCSI or RAID be the answer or am I taxing the system to its limit and need to reconsider a system?
Thanks in advance.
