Thanks. Generally speaking I agree that what's good for games is good for trading, particularly in he areas of data transfer and I/O speeds. But mostly gamers are focused on graphics card performance (and I don't have a super high-end gaming card) and network ping. I don't really see either of those as being a primary concern for system development and back testing, which is what I am exclusively focused on at this time. Still, I'm making every tweak I can with regards to disk access, memory and CPU speeds (short of overclocking), power, etc.

Unfortunately I don't have an actual way to test the performance differences in SC, and tests like Cinebench and unigine are, IMO, focused on things that aren't the major factors for this application. Will keep looking for more info tho... I'm sure it doesn't help that I'm running on 10 year old hardware (except for the graphics card which I upgraded maybe 3-4 years ago).
