    64 bit VISTA?

    I recently bought a few HP's with Vista pre-installed. How can I tell if it is 32 bit or 64 bit OS? I want to add some more memory but don't want to go thru the hassle if it is 32 bit (since I know more memory won't be recognized by the system)? Thx.

    Where is my money protected

    This has been beaten to death on this board already. SIPC only covers securities and cash, it does not cover futures. So if you have an account with OEC or Mirus or Dorman (or any of the other FCM's) then you have NO account protection afforded by SIPC. Customer funds are segregated but that is...

    What's a good "spread" for Forex? Here's a pic of OEC's

    Unless you specify GTC, your order will be canceled, just like futures. I can't comment on their platform but for every platform I have worked with the orders are always DAY unless you say otherwise.

    If their intent is to combat a strong franc, where was this intervention a yr ago or even 3 months ago? In this strong USD environment, their action is kinda like opening a condom AFTER you've had sex, no?

    What's a good "spread" for Forex? Here's a pic of OEC's

    If they are ib'ing or even white labeling for Gain/Forex.com, then yes, separate accounts. Same thing holds for Tradestation and their forex offering, which incidentally last time I checked was Gain Capital as well.

    What's a good "spread" for Forex? Here's a pic of OEC's

    I think you have found the viability of using that platform for your forex trading. Try some others that have been highly recommended here on the forum. I am sure you probably wanted to use it because you probably trade with OEC, but if you open a forex account, it is ANOTHER account and would...

    Interactivebrokers & Citibank

    You don't have your money at IB because you have said you don't trade there. You would rather put your money at some bullshit little broker with fewer than 25 clients that clears thru Penson than deal with the much larger company. You are just a fucking moron and your posts only back that fact up.

    Is this Dell computer powerful enough?

    A retail location selling Dells will have them priced higher than you can get online (or so I have noticed). Sign up for their email alerts and get notices of good deals. Like today: http://dell.p.delivery.net/m/p/del/smbc/previewsmb.asp?mid=1773286357&cid=14821656794&pid=707714&src=ViewHTML
