Hi,
I am planning to watch as many symbols as possible (1300) and am most likely to choose the high volume NASDAQ symbols so I imagine that I'm covering 80%+ of all trades on NASDAQ.
Is anyone doing this? Can you tell me what kind of bandwidth is typically required to do this.
Also, what kind of processing power, RAM, etc is required?
I have a powerful machine (3GHz, 1GB RAM) and a fast Internet connection but any real world figures would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
