Hi,

I have been running a SC chartbook with Excel spreadsheet study on a local machine using Win8.1 with processor Intel i5 @ 3.5GHz & 16MB memory. CPU usage is high.

I have recently switched to a virtual server running Win Server 2012 with 32MB memory and quadcore processors @ 3.0GHz, but the performance I get from SC is worse to the point of unusable...

Do you have a version of SC for Win Server?
Do you have any advice for using on a virtual machine?
The only other difference is that the local machine uses 32-bit Excel, whereas the server uses 64-bit. Any comments?

Many thanks

Are you actually using Excel? Or the Sierra Chart built-in spreadsheets?

There does not need to be a version for windows server. That will not make any difference.

The general way to improve Spreadsheet performance is to follow the instructions here:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_Backtesting.php#ImprovingPerformanceSpreadsheets

The information there applies even if you are not performing back testing.

Another thing you can do is increase the Chart Update Interval:
