Q2:  What are the system requirements to access the IntelliChart™ Desktop?

IntelliChart™ Online

Operating System: IntelliChart™ Online is an Internet-based service. There is no special operating system requirement.
Memory: At least 128MB memory, though more is better if you will need to open many charts at the same time. Internet Connection: 56K dial-up modem or faster. Though depending on time scales and period you are loading on the charts, the dial-up connection may be slow, due to larger amounts of data transfer. For better results we recommend cable modem or DSL
Web Browser: Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0 or newer
CPU: Requires at least CPU: PIII 450 Mhz
Monitor: We suggest setting the Monitor's resolution to at least 1024x768 pixels and we suggest at least a 17" screen if you plan to view multiple charts at the same time.
DPI: (Dots Per Inch-The measurement of the resolution of display and printing systems) any monitor purchased with in the last few years should work well
Java: The charts utilize Sun Microsystems 32 bit Java, please be sure to make sure you have the most up to date 32 bit Java. Currently the charts do not work on 64 bit Java. To check you can visit Sun's website here: http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp

An Advanced User is someone who uses any combination of the following:

Five or more groups open simultaneously
Six or more charts per group.
More than four indicators on a chart.
More than four IntelliScripts running at once.
More than four lines drawn on a chart at a time.

Since each chart and indicator is looking for data at tick by tick, the more charts and indicators you are using require more demand on your computers resources. In addition, any IntelliScript that is attached is being calculated every tick.
