Special Options

Operating System
Windows XP is the recommended Operating System for desktop computers. Microsoft Vista has known and unresolved problems. We are not responsible for resolving problems with Vista that Microsoft has not resolved. These problems include: 1. Playing movies or receiving streaming video with more than 2 monitors active. 2. Difficulty re-loading Vista from the supplied CDs (It may require removal of some of the memory, and all but one video card and hard drive). 3. Incompatibility with your software. 4. Inability to maintain a VPN connection.

Data Drive
When a Data Drive (Backup Hard Drive) is ordered, then you will receive an upgrade to the Acronis software that will allow you to schedule regular full-drive backups. These backups can be used to restore your entire hard drive to a replacement hard drive, if necessary. You can also keep several days worth of backups, allowing you to restore your hard drive to an earlier period. Unlike similar programs, the earlier period restoration can be used to scrub viruses from the hard drive (providing that the virus was not present in the earlier period).

Automatic Disk Defragmenting
The automatic disk defragmentor option will keep your hard drive organized (defragmented) so that charts open faster and the system is generally more responsive. To work correctly, it needs to be configured to defragment outside your normal trading hours or when your screen saver comes on (if you use a screen saver).

Virtual Trading Room headset
This is a Plantronics headset with high quality earphones and boom microphone. It is most commonly used in Hotcomm or similar voice enabled chat rooms. This headset will help you get into many online education or collaborative trading environments which use voice-based Internet communications technology.

Anti-Virus & Anti-Spyware protection
If this is a pure trading computer then you shouldn't need Anti-Virus or Anti-Spyware protection. Otherwise, you should only use the two brands we offer (even if you don't get them from us). Many other brands of security software will pattern-check your incoming data, which will cause the data to arrive intermittently.
