    Q re Using 2 Hard Drives

    No problem. Actually I'm not sure what Babak meant when he said "it is already set as master btw" since SATA drives arent master/slave. Maybe he meant its attached to the first SATA connector on the motherboard (which could be labeled master) Who knows... Anyway it works fine (ATA with...

    Q re Using 2 Hard Drives

    Huh? That is exactly what the OP is doing currently (booting from his old drive with the SATA drive attached) FWIW, I am running a system with both an ATA and SATA drive attached and booting from the ATA drive. You should be able to configure which one you are booting from via the BIOS config.

    Q re Using 2 Hard Drives

    My sata drive shows up as "Disk X, Basic, XXX GB, Online". The fact that your shows up as unknown (rather than basic or dynamic) may be a big clue as to why you can't partition it. If you right-click it where it says disk 0, what choices do you have? (I'm used to XP, not sure what W2K...

    Q re Using 2 Hard Drives

    All SATA drives are considered master, there are no slaves (one drive per cable). Also you partition before you format, not the other way around.

    Q re Using 2 Hard Drives

    So you attached a new SATA drive to your system (which is empty) but you are still booting and running off your old ATA/IDE drive. I have no idea why partitioning the new drive is not available (perhaps you should post a screenshot) but I would advise that you clone the old drive to the...

    Computer lockup

    Very rarely is a hard freeze (no bluescreen) caused by a software problem except perhaps a system driver issue. User applications (TWS, QT, etc) are unlikely to cause that symptom. If I had to hazzard I guess I would look at hardware problems or compatability issues with the new video card...

    The vast majority of residential real-estate agents are not like the example you posted and put very little of their own money on the line.

    Computer lockup

    If I understand you correctly, it sounds like this is an existing system (that was stable) and you made a change to the monitor/driver configuration and now it froze? If so, that seems to point the finger at whatever you just changed. Also, what OS?

    Not impressed......

    TNG, as far as I know there would be zero difference between having a video card running a 2D application with 8MB vs the same card with 64MB (or any higher value). As long as the video card has sufficient memory for the desired screen resolution I don't understand how additional memory would...

    Not impressed......

    The New Guy, 8MB is enough memory to run a monitor at 1600 x 1200 by 32bit (true color). In the context of what is being described (2D charting application) I fail to see how additional video memory would have any affect on the application speed. I would appreciate any links to articles...

    TradeBullet

    I have to say my experience with TradeBullet has been almost completely the opposite. I had some initial setup problems and Francis (from TB) was extremely helpful and got me up and running fast. When I have had any issues or questions he has always replied to my emails quickly; its a pleasure...

    Amen. I don't think most people even understand how video card memory is used. 128MB memory isnt enough? Holy crap

    What does your CPU load look like when the slowness happens (task manager, performance tab)

    What happened to that autosurf discussion?

    Hey ES, I know you started getting involved in 12DP on the old (now removed) thread. Did you use StormPay and if so did they freeze your funds or suck any money back out of your bank account?

    What happened to that autosurf discussion?

    12Daily-Pro.com isnt the same as 12DailyPro.com. I bet Patryk Spinek (registered owner of 12Daily-Pro.com from Warsaw Poland) appreciates the free advertising by the WSJ . 12Daily-Pro.com looks like its just a description of 12DailyPro with a referral link to sign-up (no doubt giving...

    Does free ram available affect speed

    If you have plenty of unused RAM adding more will not help. Regarding "memory optimizers", read the intro to this article from Mark Russinovich: The Memory-Optimization Hoax : RAM optimizers make false promises http://www.windowsitpro.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=41095&DisplayTab=Article
