My Ati and Nvidia had a conflict. It crashed my setup. I had an AGP Ati and had to get an ATI PCI card. Once I did that, it was fine. But you're right, video card conflicts are BAD. To be safe, I would get the same AGP/PCI cards. From my experience, the Ati's work much better for trading...

Is it true that 64-bit is overkill?

When that guy said "live", I think that he meant reasonably. $30/ per day for meals?? You know some good soup kitchens? Have to know friends to have fun? You take an emergency cab ride and your budget is whacked! And how much can you save?

The typo should've given that one away.

Is there a difference between the VisiontTek 9800 pro vs. the Radeon 9800 pro? Amazon has a special on the VisiontTek for $217 while the Radeon goes for around $400.

they are a pro firm with prop trading and retail accts.

that is odd

you should ask them how their quotes are now!

is it safe to go trade there?

it makes no sense. who says every prop firm gives 20x leverage? to make a blanket statement is ridiculous. some prop firms only give out 4x leverage based on the capital they have on hand which is the same leverage any margin account would get.

spreads will widen to compensate

how does this contradict what i said?

i've worked with the hp 3330 and i recommend it. the only complaint is that it takes a while to warm up. the fax is a 33.6. i noticed that some come with inferior speeds.

whether the firms were scumbags or not for other reasons, would you rent out space to fill it with guys who do 10 trades a day and not pay the rent? just being devil's advocate... and i don't mean guys who do 10 trades at 20k shares a trade. you can make 2 points a trade but if they can't pay...
