I have a pair of Dell 22" FPDs I've been using since September when I bought a new desktop. The 2nd monitor was on sale. They're nice. I'm very pleased with them. Both are plugged into the video card that came with the new system. It has one DVI port and one VGA port. If I really concentrate...

I'm working on doing a better job of noting points 1, 2, and 3. I'm finding as I add these notations around prior trades, I can see that many trades that went bad were opened near point 2. In hindsight, I'm seeing that these were not good entries. So, I'm trying to improve my notations on...

Spydertrader, First, my Thanks to your efforts to assist others. Your time, effort, and patience is greatly appreciated. I’ve been playing around with the chartscripts and trying some things out. Since you noted you are working on a new version, I thought you might be interested in...

Also, just noticed, INO closed today at $1.04/share.

My system indicates 65d avg vol for BAA: 13,795 with todays volume 13,000 shares HWG: 4,320 with todays volume 400 shares INO: 55,017 with todays volume 81,100 shares Unless I've got bad data, these don't appear to meet the volume criteria. Was this an oversight or is there a...

I recently bought a new Dell computer. Here's some things I learned in the process. 1. The Dell Vostro desktops in Small Business are the same computer as the Dell Inspiron desktops in Home/Home Office. The XPS 410 is the same as the Dimension 9200. Dell offers different sets of...

Post Thanksgiving through Christmas is the major consumer sales season and vendors will compete hard for those consumer bucks. It's also budget flush time for businesses. Depending on how the shopping season is promotions can get even more aggressive as the holidays approach. Realize the...

I'm still researching but thanks to info above here's what I've discovered so far: Price from: Dell (if included with system purchase): +$258 Crucial: $158 Newegg (same Crucial memory): $110 less $40 rebate (til 9/25) = $70. Not sure how Crucial compares to other brands at Newegg...

I've got my new system ordered with 2 GB, 800 Mhz RAM. I want to add another 2 GB. I've bought from Crucial in the past, but a little research appears to show that there may be a variety of good brands at lower prices and even Crucial memory may be bought at lower cost from sources other...

I recently ordered a new Dell system and am getting a pair of the Dell 22" - one of which should arrive the end of this week. When I researched 22" FPDs, the prices for over 22 brands some with multiple models ranged from around $200 to $350 or more and the dizzying range of features...

Did you pay with a credit card? If so, call the credit card company and dispute the charge. Best Buy failed to perform: they misdiagnosed the problem and charged you for the wrong service that they failed to complete anyway. The credit card co. will send you a form to write up why the charge is...

from Dell's home/home office site I did some searching over the weekend and found several systems from other vendors with the Q6600: Acer ASE700, HP m8120, HP a6152n, Gateway GM5478, Gateway X530B. They were similarly configured and all appeared to be lower cost than Dell. An Acer...

The 8300 is the lowest video card offered by Dell for the XPS410 and you can't order it without a video card. I'm only concerned about adequately driving the two monitors for trading. I'm not a gamer. Dell doesn't offer a choice of motherboards. My impression is performance gains would...

Thanks to those who have responded to my questions and to those who have responded to other traders' questions as many replies have provided helpful information. My last question is whether there are some alternative systems or displays I should consider before making an all Dell purchase...
