Performance in onboard graphics has negligible impact on trading. Drawing 2D candles and squiggly lines (indicators) is not GPU challenging. Speed of the processor is important. A low teen percentage improvement is not impressive. When it comes to processors, they usually double every 2...

I agree with mgookin that we need to know more how the second monitor is connected. Different hardware (video card) vendors use different methods (drivers). Some simply don't work with Windows' Display Manager.

Thanks for remembering my quest easymon! Some marketing guys heard me. :) Yes I have seen the post. The price $99 is great. Resolution, however, is a bit too low for what I like. 1366 x768. I am going to wait until they come up with a 17" 18" 19" version with 1920x1080. They will...

By the way: the term "splitter" is used over-generally. If the splitter is to divide up (share) the video signals from one connector to 2 connectors, then the images are duplicated onto 2 different monitors. If the splitter, like the DMS-59, is to separate out the pin-outs (wires) from...

A fan-less 8400 GS? Maybe Zotac. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500220&Tpk=zotac%208400%20gs If the heatsink is good enough there is no need for that fan. It's really not much of a fan anyway. :)

Why keep wanting an AMD card which leans more towards the gamer market, with 4 monitors on one card? The HP box in the opening page has 2 PCIe X16 slots. Just grab 2 cheap EVGA 8400 GS 1GB (dual monitors each) and be done. ~$60 for 2 cards, brand new. If you search for the 512MB model (if...

I am skeptical of that. I think you can have this card to support 2 monitors. I would question if it can support 4. From the specification page, it said "multiple monitor support" as Yes. But did not say how many. http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-530-oem/specifications

In general more core the better. However, the application must support it in order to use multiple cores. It is not a given. For example, TradeStation up to 9.0 does not support multi-core. When the overall CPU usage reaches 13%, charts start to freeze. Basically the "orchart.exe" process...

This page has highlighted the difference between various Win7 editions. For a home based business, I think the Home Premium is good enough. Excerpt: Windows 7 Home Premium This is the entry-level edition for most consumers. It has the full Aero interface, Windows Media Center, and a few...

Durability: [def] The ability of the processor to stand the sudden and forceful but repetitive pounding and slapping from frustrated traders during losing trades.

"You get it back all in one trade because you see AAPL price flashed 30c below the market for 1/30 of a second..." :D The monitor pays for itself...

Another one of those "hey... 600 Hz monitor specially designed for Day Traders?

What Acer model are you looking at? I use a few of: Acer S211HL LED Monitor for about $130 each, 6 months ago http://support.acer.com/acerpanam/MONITOR/2010/Acer/S211HL/S211HLsp2.shtml I like them. They are light, bright, VESA mount, 1080p resolution. = = = = = Does refresh...

I think it is just a marketing ploy. If they say it is designed for "financial"... Z Z Z Z Z But if they say it is designed for DAY TRADERS... Wow!!!! Buy buy buy!

Thanks for the additional comments, jficquette, kiwi_trader, WinstonTJ, GTS. I think Winston's suggestion is great. I didn't think of that. I can pre-load the drivers for the new motherboard before I unplug the disk drive from the old motherboard. Currently I am using an ASUS MoBo for...

Thanks for your replies kauflaune, imabadboy, Scataphagos. That is kind of what I thought. I think I would re-install Win7 (that's the easy part... the time-consuming part is re-installing all the apps and reconfiguring everything)... it would be cleaner going forward.

Hey guys... I am trying to use TS 9.1 (still in beta) to get multi-core support. It works nicely. But they have stability problems. Between the reboots, the TS software could have problems reading the same workspace (charts). I am thinking of downgrading to the 9.0 version which, it...

Nobody can answer that. It depends of your setting for the tick charts (1000 ticks versus 10 ticks - huge difference). Also it is not the number of indicators that matters. It is what the indicators themselves do. I have developed some "neat" experimental indicators that is similar to...

system should be normal. But with spoolsv.exe From this page: The spooler service is responsible for managing spooled print/fax jobs. Spooling allows you to print in the background without your computer being tied up. Note: The spoolsv.exe file is located in the folder...

Windows OS? I think the first think you need to find out is where did all the CPU cycles go. Which means: what application, which process, then it may give you some clue. If Windows: On the task bar, right click and "Start Task Manager". Under Task Manager: Tab "Performance", what...
