Meet up with KH and Peter 9pm till 2am

Met up with Peter and KH on 8-May-09 Friday night at 9pm near KH's place at Yishun. Have not met KH for more than 10 years and Peter about close to 1 year. Have a very good chat with them and before we knew, it is already 2am in the morning ! Was having a good chat and catching up with each other.

KH has been doing serious trading on his own for 6 years. Peter slight less than a year.

Got some good advice from them on what's the best configuration to use when buying next desktop PC for trading with 3 to 4 monitor setup. They definitely know how to optimize and get a PC that run at maximum speed.

My desktop most likely configuration will be as follow :-
Intel i7 Quad processor
6 to 8Gb of DDR3 1333Mhz RAM
Window Vista Home Premium 64
A 10K speed small drive to install the OS and major software.
A 7,200 speed second drive (500GB or 1TB or whichever the sweet spot is) for other non critical sw and data.
Either 1 or 2 graphics card to support 3 or 4 monitors.
They recommend to get 22" display which is the current price/spec sweet spot (still deciding whether to re-use my current 15" and 17" old monitors).

Both have been very generous in sharing their trading/investment experiences.

KH also share quite a fair bit of his personal view on some of the US conspiracy theory relating to 911 event and the current banking crisis. Quite intrigue and interesting points of view.

Maybe a good idea to catch up with them once in 2 or 3 months to share experiences and strategies.
