The F-19 is offered at an extremely attractive price when compared to a Dell or HP computer with a Core2 processor operating at the same processor(CPU) clock speed. Unlike the Dell or HP offerings, the F-19 can support 4 or more monitors (which the others can't).

The F-19 allows you to deploy premium technology while holding down costs.

The Core2 CPU used in the F-19 should not be confused with the old Pentium line of processors that are still sold by many computer manufacturers. Compared to the Core2 processors, the Pentium processors were inefficient in using their CPU speed. The Core2 processors get more done with each GHz of CPU speed.

Our feedback from customers indicates that none of the old Pentium processors are powerful enough for today's top charting software and market conditions. The Core2 CPUs are significantly faster but must be greater than 3GHz to get good performance. Some computer sellers still offer the old 2.4 or 2.66GHz Core2 or AMD CPUs that we know are too slow (based on customer feedback).

The F-19 offers extraordinary performance and quality.
It is backed by our 3 year warranty and our outstanding technical support team.

Special Options

Operating System:
A Windows 7 64-bit Operating System is the recommended Operating System for desktop computers.

Second Boot Drive
The Falcon Second Boot option provides you with a second bootable hard drive. This option protects you from hardware or software problems. This drive is normally kept in a standby location. In the event you are having problems with software (Virus, corrupt files, etc.) or a hard drive failure, you can insert the second boot drive and be up and running for the trading day without a long delay. This drive will not automatically keep itself updated. If you order the Data drive then you do NOT need to keep it updated because it can be updated within 15 minutes from the data drive.

Data Drive:
When a Data Drive (Backup Hard Drive) is ordered, then you will receive an upgrade to the Acronis software that will allow you to schedule regular full-drive backups. These backups can be used to restore your entire hard drive to a replacement hard drive, if necessary. You can also keep several days worth of backups, allowing you to restore your hard drive to an earlier period. Unlike similar programs, the earlier period restoration can be used to scrub viruses from the hard drive (providing that the virus was not present in the earlier period).

Automatic Disk Defragmenting:
The automatic disk defragmentor option will keep your hard drive organized (defragmented) so that charts open faster and the system is generally more responsive. To work correctly, it needs to be configured to defragment outside your normal trading hours or when your screen saver comes on (if you use a screen saver).

Virtual Trading Room headset:
This is a Plantronics headset with high quality earphones and boom microphone. It is most commonly used in Hotcomm or similar voice enabled chat rooms. This headset will help you get into many online education or collaborative trading environments which use voice-based Internet communications technology.

Anti-Virus & Anti-Spyware protection:
If this is a pure trading computer then you shouldn't need Anti-Virus or Anti-Spyware protection. Otherwise, you should only use the two brands we offer (even if you don't get them from us). Many other brands of security software will pattern-check your incoming data, which will cause the data to arrive intermittently.
