    Computer for trading

    I purchased a trading computer from TradingComputers.com (model F-18) approximately 1.5 years ago. I bought it to replace a top-of-the-line Dell XPS, which gave me intermittent problems. I have had absolutely no problems with the new one from TradingComputers. I run 8 monitors with a load of...

    Need advice on trading computer, and monitors

    I've been using an F-18 from TradingComputers.com for over a year now. I have it hooked to 8 Dell monitors, which I already had. This is the best system I have ever owned. I would suggest ordering the 10,00RPM hard drives, if you're interested in speed. I trade the ES every day, from open...

    I want to add 2 monitors..............

    If you're adding 2 monitors, all you really need is a Dual card. I would not go to the expense of a Quad card, unless you plan to add even more monitors later. If you have an AGP slot available, the AGP Matrox P-650-Dual Card is a very stable card. If you need a PCI card, you can go to the...

    I want to add 2 monitors..............

    Before going to the expense of a new computer, go to http://www.pctools.com/registry-mechanic/?ref=mg_rm and check out "Registry Mechanic". This is one of the best software tools I've ever purchased. If registry conflicts are causing slowness, this product will cure it. I have it on 3 computers...

    I want to add 2 monitors..............

    Not knowing what brand or how many graphics cards you have, it looks to me like you may need at least one more dual graphics card to add 2 more monitors. You need to make sure the card(s) match the type of slot(s) you plan to use them in (AGP, PCI, PCIE, etc.). When first setting up my...

    I want to add 2 monitors..............

    "cant you just make the wide screen fonts bigger?? Or is there something else that makes adding bigger monitors to a set up that just does not make sense" Try right clicking on a vacant spot on your desktop. Select properties. Select settings. In the graphic at the top, each of your...

    I would suggest that you download the most current drivers from the manufacturers web site. Sometimes the drivers that are sent with your new graphics card are not the most current.

    I want to add 2 monitors..............

    I presently have a Dell, with 8 monitors. Been using for over 2 years with no real problems. I first tried mixing cards made by different manufacturers and had problems. I'm now using 3 Matrox graphics cards ((one AGP(P650-dual) and two PCI(G450MMS-quad)). I did need to update the BIOS before...

    eSignal RAISING FEE'S AGAIN!!?!?? WTF

    Hi RedDuke: I really don't think that most of the complaints are because eSignal's costs are too high, in general. I think most of the complaints are that eSignal is charging too much for the product they provide. I, for one, have continual delay problems when I'm running TICK charts, and...
