Austin, moving to Elgin.

Well, it is an auction because there are bids and offers. There's no way to enter an order so that you are certain to get a fill at the opening price. To answer more fully, a "call market" is one where all the trading takes place at the same time. A "single price auction" is one where one...

Most electronic futures markets open with a single price call market auction. I'm guessing ecbot and globex fall in that category.

Yes, you can get trade size on the quote board. I think maybe earlier versions did not have this capability though.

i've been using them for a couple of years and been pretty happy, partly because i got the fsxtra cheap deal through cbot. Last week or two there does seem to be a more than normal number of disconnects. I haven't paid that much attention because they've always lost the feed from time to...

Well, I also agree with winter that this sort of discussion doesn't help anything very much. But there's something I would really like to know. Despite the fact that EM64T is theoretically capable of addressing 16 exabytes of memory, the Pentium D has a 2x1 Gb L2 cache. Is there something...

I'm sorry, I don't mean to confuse anyone or "opine incorrectly." I was not saying that addressable memory is set by L2 cache, period or otherwise. What I was saying was that, as a practical matter, the maximum usuable memory is set by L2 cache, regardless of what the processor is capable of...

Going back to the original question, according to my understanding, it's actually the L2 cache that sets the useable ram limit. In earlier years, with external cache, adding memory could dramatically slow the computer. With the L2 cache on the processor, as with the pentium 4, the ram limit is...
