but, it works and I don't really feel like switching accounting programs after all these years. Are these causing the downloading problems The new quicken home and business 2010 will replace quicken home and business 2009. Yeah, I think that's just I-n-t-u-i-t being lame. But I have had problems downloading from some banks while others present no problems. But did think a new 8930 with twice the real memory, an 8th gen CPU i7 rather than a 2nd gen i7 and Optane would be as fast as if not somewhat faster than my old XPS, not slower.Ĥ. but, it works and I don't really feel like switching accounting programs after all these I had no real expectations would be faster (or as fast as) an SSD.

Running ANY computer without a bootable SSD (for Windows and all Apps) is very "5 years ago".Ĥ. NVMe-SSD is 5 times faster than even a SATA-SSD. Likely properly configged for it's useful life.ģ. Machine would have been ready to go when you un-boxed it.

That would have been a $200 upgrade at most. Real SSD (even a SATA based one) is better.Ģ. Now you see why Optane is lame (OpLame I call it). You are not doing anything that requires any real processor power, so "speed" is perceived as boot time and time to open apps. But overall, the machine is plenty fast and I typically only run Quicken once a day.ġ. I figured I could always get for give or take $88 from Amazon. I got the 8930 with Optane rather than the SSD from Costco because it was $600 cheaper than the one with SSD.ģ. But did think a new 8930 with twice the real memory, an 8th gen CPU i7 rather than a 2nd gen i7 and Optane would be as fast as if not somewhat faster than my old XPS, not slower.Ģ. I've run this test about 4 times in succession just to ensure that any caching benefits of the Optane memory would accrue.Īny I had no real expectations would be faster (or as fast as) an SSD. I am guessing in part, much of the startup time is CPU based as Quicken processes the file at startup, but one would assume the 8930 with the i7-8700 would do better in the CPU department than either of the other two machines, and certainly should do better than the old XPS in the disk performance. On the new XPS, it is taking about 18 seconds. Also as a reference, on my 3 year old HP Envy laptop with an i7-6500U running at 2.6GHz and a SSD (SATA III) drive, it takes about 10 seconds to startup Quicken.

On my old XPS, it to 15 seconds from the time I started Quicken till it was loaded and ready to go. One of my big applications is Quicken 2017.

(Yes, I checked Optane is enabled on the 8930.)

Download Quicken 2018 Deluxe Fixed an issue where different currency symbols would appear in the Projected Balances chart if there were scheduled transactions using different currencies. It replaces a 6 year old XPS with 16GB memory, a 1.5TB hard drive and an i7-2600. What’s New In Quicken 2018 With Patch: Fixed an issue where check numbers disappeared after syncing with the Quicken Cloud. Just go my new 8930 with 32GB memory, 16GB of Optane Memory, 1TB spinning disk, and of course the i7-8700.
