Does
Marketmaker® run on Macintosh or
Linux?
Presently it does not, but we will
consider developing a version of Marketmaker®
for Macintosh OS and Linux if there is sufficient interest from
clients. It is possible to run Marketmaker®
using emulators on Linux and Mac, but we cannot officially
support these installations and offer no warranties/guarantees.
Will I need a
new computer to run Marketmaker®?
If
you bought your computer within the last two years, the most
likely answer is 'no'. The most crucial element is the amount of
memory (RAM) installed in your computer. To run Marketmaker®
as designed, your PC ought to have at least 256MB RAM installed,
preferably more. The system will run on a PC with 128MB RAM but
just not as smoothly, as there is simply less memory to deal
with our software, Microsoft Windows and anything else you may
have running. With the new charts release we strongly recommend
512 mb of RAM.
For system specifications please follow this link.
If you are unsure what specification your computer is, please
contact the Helpdesk.
What are the
minimum requirements for Internet connection speed? Marketmaker®
will run on a standard 56Kb dial-up modem but will work much
more smoothly on internet connections with a higher bandwidth
such as 512Kb/s or 1MB/s. 512Kb/s is sufficient bandwidth if not
using any other programs. The response time or latency is what
is important. Broadband is superior to dialup in this respect.
Satellite is inferior to dialup in this respect and we don't
recommend satellite if an alternative is available.
