I have been a major pain in TD's ass since around the "flash crash". Only by coincidence, it was around then that the data issues cropped up. To date, the options feed from TD through QT is incorrect as well as the NSDQ MMID "hanging" in their level II. the hanging is quite similar to the...

Thanks again...really appreciate all your help. Cruising eBay now for another 280. V.

Thanks man. WD-40's like the duct tape of lubricants. Didn't think about getting two of the same card in both AGP and PCI - great idea! I'm really going to show my ignorance here but you wrote that I shouldn't have two different drivers installed. When I added the second card, it ran...

Aha! No, they're not both NVS 280. The other is a GeForce FX5200. The NVS is AGP and the FX5200 is PCI. That might also be the problem. I just got finished trying the 280 again. Same issue. I can get into the properties but when I click the Advanced tab...screen goes blank. The good...

Don't like the idea of EMR. LOL. Maybe I WILL close the case. I cruised around on Youtube searching "pc fan noise" - wow! Think maybe I'm being a little too anal here. I've just been comparing mine to my g/f's new Dell and I bought my Pop a new Dell as well. Can't even tell they're on...

Wow...thanks for keeping this going. Some great suggestions. It's not a software/CPU spiking issue and yes...I have installed a new fan - several. It's a heat buildup issue caused by my Nvidia GeForce ti4200 card. As suggested by another poster, I already tried the NVS280 card but...

Excellent!!! Thank you ALL for your input. I think, because it's an older, a lower end case, it is definitely generating more heat than it should...not like some of the newer models that probably take this into consideration. Most of the "real" heat is coming off the Nvidia GeForce Ti4200...

Got an older Dell Dimension 8200 [please see pic: front, back, inside]. Fan noise is inherent in all these Dell systems and it's mainly because it's a temp controlled fan [through a fan sensor not the BIOS] and it increases and decreases with the temp and the noise is simply the fan speeding...

Gotcha' - thanks Mgookin!

Thanks Voodoo. Here's the one I'm looking at: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001294

Eyes are bleeding from searching and Googling. Can someone give me the bottom line for trading purposes? 16:10 = more real estate than 16:9, correct? Looking at Dell G2410 and Samsung 2443BW Dell is 16:9 and Samsung 16:10 No movies/games just Quotetracker. What really is the...

Greetings, Flipped my Acer V193 19" [which is crap btw] to portrait and switched the mode via Nvidia software just to try it out. Things seem to be slow. That's the only way to describe it. Specifically, when I played around with Quotetracker pull downs in trading section things seemed...
