I'm no expert in computers but the dual core computers are faster than computers with a single CPU. The new Intel Core 2 Duo CPU's are really flying. I am upgrading to a Core 2 Duo computer (if they ever hit the market) and all I do is trade. No gaming. When I try to start a second stock...

I'm thinking of getting an HP m7590n Pavilion for stock trading. It has a Pentium D 940 CPU at 3.2GHz. I would like to take it's CPU out and put in a Core 2 Duo CPU. Do any of you guys know if it is possible to do that or do I need a different mother board? I'm Computer stupid. I asked HP...

This was a very big concern of mine in my early days of trading. I asked one of my online brokers this very same question and he said it was to protect me from the possibility of my long position turning into a short position if one order was triggered and then the other was triggered. I had a...

Have any of you people heard anything about Intel's new CPU chip, "Core 2 Duo?" Intel says it runs 40% cooler and 40% faster. I heard it will be in new desk top computers in about two weeks. I was going to buy an HP with the Intel Pentium D 3.2Ghz CPU this week but I thought it might be...

I've been through that myself and became a firm believer in a back-up computer system. There is nothing worse than entering a long position and then having the computer go on the fritz before getting the stop loss to the market. You come back online and see the stock heading to the basement...

What do you get when you line up all congressmen ear-to-ear? A wind tunnel. :) -1bigsteve (o:

I use Webroot's "Spy Sweeper" for discovering viruses, adware and other sneeky stuff. Webroot also has "Window Washer" which delets all the junk that Windows XP does not get rid of when I click, "tools-internet options-delete cookies-delete files-delete history." They co$t a bit of money but...

Has anyone noticed the quality of the lines, i.e. Stochastic, Moving Averages, etc., on a widescreen vs. a normal screen format? I am tempting to buy a widescreen but I'm concerned about the quality of the "curvy" lines on a widescreen. I like lines to look smooth not jagged as they go from...

A farmer is helping his cow give birth. His young son is watching. After several minutes of effort the calf is born. The young son looks up at his father and says: "Dad, tell me something. How fast was that calf running when he hit that cow?" -1bigsteve (o:

I had Norton's System Works a few years ago and it would attempt to "fix" or, if it couldn't fix then it would "delete" problems I was having with my PC. This went on and on and my computer got worse and worse. I finally tried to restore the drive to it's original "out-of-box" condition. Half...

One evening a man is sitting on his sofa when he hears a knock on the door. He gets up and opens the door but there is no one there. He looks down and notices a snail on the threshold. He picks up the snail and throws it as far as he can. A year later this guy hears a knock on his door but...

I had the same problem with 100% CPU useage until I found out that my Spy Sweeper program was running in the background full time. It was causing my browser to jump and everything slowed to a crawl. Spy Sweeper was constantly snooping through my PC's guts eating up tons of RAM and CPU energy. I...

I always love lots of verticle height with my stock charts. It makes it so much easier to see the bottom indicator windows. I don't like my Stochastic, TSV, MACD, RS and BOP flattened out like a pancake. A 21" widescreen has a viewing screen of 11" tall. A 19" normal ratio screen is 11 3/4" tall...
