1. You are not using 2 ATI cards right now...I am. 2. You can also buy ATI cards on Ebay...but I would rather buy new from a trusted retailer like Newegg. 3. Nvidia is the ultimate gamer's card. Name a top selling gaming PC...Nvidia is the card used. ATI has been in the video card...

1. A warning from someone who doesn't use ATI cards about the risks of using ATI cards is not very helpful to someone looking for an ATI PCI card. If you are going to buy anything but the 64MB version of the NVS...it will costs you at least as much as the ATI Diamond Stealth...which has...

1. No...the ATI x1300 which is used by tons of OEM also works and here is a link to all the ATI PCI cards on Newegg...take your pick: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010380048%201305520549%201069609642&bop=And&Order=RATING 2. The NVS only has 64MB of video...

The point is ATI works...and works well running 4 monitors. It only took me 1 try to find a good PCI ATI card that works perfectly well with the ATI 2400 that came with my computer. It was easier and more affordable for me to just buy a new ATI card that works with the one that came by...

I know that...but just because a company produces a card based on ATI's chipset...doesn't mean that the rest of the card is built on quality. I've purchased cards from Diamond Stealth (now Best Data) in the past...and I can vouch for their quality. Also the Diamond Stealth got great reviews on...

I beg to differ. I've used ATI cards for trading for years and have yet to have any problems...but then again I don't buy video cards for gaming. I buy the cheaper...lower clock speed mainstream cards...not the top of the line gaming cards. I'm sure that Nvidia cards will work also...but...

I believe you're getting the Dell XPS 420 which is the same computer I bought. From a couple of weeks experience...I can highly recommend this system. You won't be playing any high end games with the ATI 2400 video card...but if you want a stable and fast trading system...It fits the bill...

If you want a PCI ATI card you can get the ATI x1550 which is based off of the X1300. I just bought a 512MB Diamond Stealth x1550 PCI to go with the ATI 2400 HD PCIE that came with my computer. Works great. I believe the ATI x1550 also comes in a low profile version.

I moved 75% on my account to IB...left 25% at Schwab. IB has worked fine so far. I still much prefer the old Cybertrader interface...but Booktrader on IB is pretty good and I have gotten used to it in the past month so that I can still trade the same way I used to at cybertrader. What I...

I had been using a old Matrox G450 64MB PCI card for the past 2 years to run a Dell 24" at 1900x1200 (which is the native resolution) and a Viewsonic 20" at 1600x1200 at the same time..so depending on which Matrox you have...it might be able to run a 24" fine. Just upgraded to a ATI Diamond...

Get at least 2 Gigs of RAM....I run 2 of my vista systems with 2 Gigs and I just bought a new pc with 3 Gigs. The 3 Gig system feels a little faster than the other 2...but it is a Quad Core and the other 2 are just Core 2 Duos...so that may be a factor. Opening multiple programs while...

That's true...that's why I use the DVI connector on my main monitor and the vga connector for my secondary. I've switched between DVI and VGA on multiple video cards and have not noticed much of any difference in quality. Then again I don't do a lot of photo editing. For Trading...the 2400...

It's Microsoft's version of an OS babysitter...the most annoying feature in Vista if you ask me. Everything you try to do...UAC (User Account Control) will ask you if you're sure you want to do that. So it takes multiple steps to do simple things...like deleting a file. To turn it off..got...

I'm pretty sure you can run two DVI monitors on this assuming they are smaller than 30 inches (which require Dual link). I'm running the exact same video card right now with 2 monitors (1 DVI, 1 VGA) on a new Dell XPS 420 I bought. If you buy a VGA/DVI adapter I'm sure you can hook up a second...

Have 3 computers with Vista. Two with Home Premium and one with Vista Business. All very stable using both Cybertrader (Charles Schwab now), IB TWS standalone, and Qcharts. Been using it since Vista came out. Turned off UAC in Vista immediately after started using it which was the only major...

thanks for the reply giles. I see where the commissions for per trade is listed...but I assumed there would be a total of all your commissions listed somewhere.

Hey guys, Just switched over from Cybertrader to IB TWS stand alone and the complexity of configuring IB has been a bit overwhelming so far. I'm sure this is a stupid question...but where is the amount of commissions you've generated for the day listed? I've looked under account...

You could hedge your positions at another broker...ie. if you were long 1000 shares of XYZ at IB you could short 1000 XYZ at your backup broker. Better than the alternative.

AAA...if you have your money swept into their money market account...the amount swept is witheld from your DTBP. So if you want to utilize a full 4X your balance...you have to change your account so it is held in Schwab One Interest account which earns you a pittance (maybe 1%). Just another...
