I checked out www.tradingcomputers.com and they seem like a pretty cool company with good prices and they seem like they don't rip people off on upgrades either, but something I don't understand is on their shipping rates, it says "Standard Schedule: 6-9 business days to build your computer."...

I tried this and it did not work for my trading. I also tried Sun OS's and that did not work. After all that time and expense including getting a Linux network engineer over here for 10 hours, I gave it all up and went with WinXP. My original hope in trying it was to run an OS which would...

that looks like a real nice system. i'm sure you will enjoy those four 24" monitors - plenty of real estate and a good system to push it all.

That's what OCZ had told me (about RAM speed being same or higher then FSB). Glad to hear someone second that one. Thanks! I did run Prime95 to burn in/ test the system. It ran 45 minutes at 100% on all 4 cores at 3.0ghz with zero errors. Every time I made a change (bios mem timing settings...

Yes I did read the first two posts. The first of which I could not figure out what you were saying and on the second one, I did read that article at wiki which I had read before. It does a good job explaining logic in a system, but does not provide the mathematics on how it all fits together...

No doubt I can overclock the dithers out of this thing, but I'm not looking for overclocking; just a dependable, powerful, stable system that will take much more then anything I will throw at it. And it's doing that. The mobo is the Asus P5K64WS. I'm running 64-bit WinXP Pro and it has four...

As with all electrical devices, circuits, conductors, etc. (including cpu's & gpu's) it's thermal cycling that causes wear/ degradation. Once you get past X qty of wear, failure is the next event. Notice how incandescent light bulbs only last a short period of time relative to flourescent or...

I can respect that opinion. When I traded 10 years ago I went to MSN or Yahoo and researched stocks, logged onto my broker and put on a trade, then shut it off. Today my trading is totally different. I trade futures and watch up to a dozen or so products running up to about 3 dozen charts at...

When I built my last pc I went all in and built what I understood to to be the fastest system attainable. But there were some conflicts in the information because OCZ advised me on Ram, Intel on CPU, etc. Looking at this subject objectively, what can people in here tell me about matching...

On Dell: I agree Dell rips off people on "upgrades". The best deals with Dell are the base models and entry models where they have competitive pricing to "get you in the door". If you upgrade a cpu for example, they charge you full retail price without credit for the base cpu that is not...

I stand corrected then. From the original post I thought you had already placed the order and paid for it. You're in the right place to ask about acquiring a trading system. Rather then get a dozen "experts" debating mhz, cpu, gpu, etc. I'll attest that gnome is the most qualified hardware...

I looked at the xps 630 on Dell's site and it does appear he paid for two cards. Maybe we're done with this one.

it's a XPS 630. agree - Dell never tells anyone about the mobo; they keep people in the dark so they can charge more! Just like they don't tell you the fsb and like they take a nice cpu like that QX6850 and only use DDR2. Like running a Ferrari on solar if you ask me. He was asking in...

The purchase is water under the bridge gnome; he already bought it. What inputs he is going to have on those monitors and what outputs he will have on the cards is only known by Dell. As for how many monitors per head is another Dell question. We still don't know if he is getting "Dual...

I would suggest you have Dell answer that question and also ask them if you need any splitters/ adapers to run the 3 monitors.

The video card specs (freely available from the manuf before you buy) should tell you what power requirements are. Those same specs will also answer your questions regarding OS, etc.

Don't believe Sun for a New York second that they are "coming out with ..." anything. They have been lying to us for years regarding release of 64 bit java for 64 bit Windows systems.

When I first read your order it looked to me like one dual-head card. Are you sure that is two dual-head video cards? Just don't want you to be disappointed when you get your system.

If you have enough slots of the proper type (PCIe) or better, enough space for the size of the cards, and enough power supply cables of the proper voltage & plug, then yes, you can stack all the cards that will fit in there. As to how many of what type of monitor each card will push, you...
