Usually the issue is RAM. if you dont have enough RAM, computer must access disk frequently ... and that is very slow.   Before you run out and get more RAM do an analysis of how system uses the available RAM   ----- Original Message ----- From: Rakesh Sahgal To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2006 9:16 AM Subject: Re: [amibroker] PC Utilities.-Slight(?) Digression-Hardware advice requested Thanks very much for the advice. Question - If the afl in question is working fine for others then obviously the problem is with my system. In such a scenario any performance enhancing upgrades that you would recommend for the display side of things?

Digression-Hardware advice requested Hi All, Up until now my box(HP p4-233 XP Pro) has been working fine for my limited requirements. Whatever I did in AB was a breeze.Of late however I have been witnessing marked degradation in the performance of the box. This happened after I started using an afl that was posted in the library. The screen takes forever to refresh when I change the scrip whose chart I am looking at and  mouse clicks a smilar amount of time to take effect when I am viewing the  sheet which has the afl in question.  Now my spoecific questions -  How do I determine in which area exactly is the hardware lacking i.e. additional ram required or video capability needs enhancement or will tinkering with page file suffice(presently at 300 mb approx). Any clues/pointers will be highly appreciated.
