    Thanks for those replies. Blew off the eBay dude b/c it was low profile. Thanks SC. Found another for 19 shipped NVS 280 with cable and CD. Refurbished but they're all used to some degree. Will try those suggestions about playing with settings...thanks. Will the NVS 280 enable...

    Video Cards for Dummies (y)

    Here's another newbie question(s) for you... I have a new Acer V193 next to an older 912N Samsung Syncmaster and the whites are totally different. Played around with settings on both but the Samsung now seems "dull". Do monitors degrade somehow over time or is is just a brand difference...

    Thanks all for the education. Have a used Nvidia 280 128 MB with the cable on its way for $30 shipped. Looks like it was $150+ new? Gotta be better than what I have. Thanks again.

    Video Cards for Dummies (y)

    I have a Dell Dimension 8200 which I upgraded with more memory and a new drive. Only running Ninja and QT on XP Pro OS [thanks to Gnome for the XP Pro]. The PC flies and I'm thrilled with it. Few weeks back, I posted about a humming at startup. After going through an unnecessary CPU fan and...

    HELP PLEASE-Where are my contracts ?

    Thanks Andy. I meant, who did you call to close out? You wrote " NINJA answered" but then mentioned Chicago Clearing. No one at Dorman said anything about being able to log on in case of a "situation". I'm just trying to do some [after the fact] DD so I can intelligently blast some...

    HELP PLEASE-Where are my contracts ?

    Andy, Reading your post tonight was a surreal experience for me. I went short 4 YM market reopen this evening and called AMP just to ask a question about margin. Didn't have a problem but I just wanted to ask a question. Voicemail. Ahhh, then I remembered that the rep gave me a...

    Wtf was THAT?

    Sometimes I feel like either I'm the only one trading the YM or just clueless...because both AMP and Mirus said I was the only one that called in about this. Anyway, they just both got back to me and said the same thing - there was a "glitch" when the Dow reopend at 3:30 [CST] and all trades...

    Wtf was THAT?

    I'm surprised that there isn't more of a discussion about the YM "spike" Both AMP and Mirus are telling me that those were legitimate trades and my charts indicate the same - spiking to 8700. CBOT is reprting it never happened; but, there is lot of volume to 8700 level. Is that possible? I...

    Beautiful ES slam-dunk trade

    Chris, I keep flipping from minute to large tick for anchor chart but always go back to time or volume charts. I do use a small tick chart but I like either the volume or time for anchor. Just preference or am I missing something more important? Thanks again, V.

    PC Humming noice at startu

    Thanks for all the suggestions. UPDATE: Well, I had the cover off three days in a row and, of course it stopped making the noise. You know...like asking your mechanic to find that mysterious squeal. Anyway, it happened at startup this AM so I put my ear down and then reached around...

    PC Humming noice at startu

    Older Dell Dimension that I upgraded with two new hard drives. Started humming at startup before I did the upgrade. Thought it was the main fan so I replaced it. Still hums. I press start and immediately it kind of "groans" for a minute until it's booted up and then it's gone. I think...

    Laptop upgrade question

    Thanks Scataphagos. Just did a market replay of Thursday's open with Ninja, along with QT and one browser open. Averages about 5% CPU Usage and 350,000 Physical memory available. Opened Outlook and ran a Youtube vid just as a test and CPU averaged 10% with Physical around 335,000 with...

    Laptop upgrade question

    I recently upgraded a six year old dell dimension P4 to 1 gig memory and a new 160 gig hard drive. I installed XP Pro and all that's on it are Ninja and QT. The box flies. I know guys buying new boxes and mine boots in seconds and runs twice what theirs does. I think XP Pro has a lot to do...
