What is the Best Processor for eSignal?

The best processor to use with eSignal is the fastest one.

eSignal does not take advantage of multiple CPUs.

If you use PCMark 2005 - CPU to test CPU performance you get something like this:

(The higher the score the better)

Processor Performance
Athlon 64 X2 4800 4944
Core 2 Duo6400 5489
Pentium D 950 5705
Core 2 Duo6600 6168
Core 2 Duo6700 6841
Core 2 EX6800 7547
Athlon 64 FX74 7697
Core 2 QX6700 8607















The same goes with backtesting. That takes power.
Therefore it's best to go with the fastest processor.
