Gnome, I have had a big issue trying to install a GeForce 6200 PCI-Slot card into my new Dell Vostro-400 ( G33 chipset ) in order to support a 3rd monitor. I currently have an 8600 GTS in the PCI-Express slot, which I'm told by several Nvidia techs will be compatible with the 6200 PCI-slot...

What is your download speed when you try using a "SpeakEasy" speed test server in LA of San Francisco?

My Dell Vostro-400 has not only a case fan but also a heatsink and fan for the processor too. Let's remember that a video card is only going to get as "hot" as the demands that are being placed on it. I really can't see charting or a quote board putting that much "demand" on a graphics card...

Agreed. And an Nvidia tech will tell you that you can use a GeForce 6200 PCI-slot card to support a 3rd ( or even 4th monitor ). In fact, I am installing an eVGA Ge Force 6200 PCI card with 256 mb of the higher rated DDR2 memory ( rarely seen in a PCI graphics card ) this weekend. This has...

A month ago, I came across a Vostro-400 with Windows XP and an Intel E6850 Duo-Core 3.0 GHz processor with 2 gigs of the 800Mghz memory and an Nvidia GeForce 8600 GTS video card with an 80 Gig Hard Drive for: $519.00 + tax Initially, I came across a unit very similar to yours ( but also...

:D :D :D

Yes, I forgot to mention that I upgraded to the "Blast" service - - - which everyone who has "Performance Plus" for $52.95 per month will be automatically switched over to for FREE starting Feb. 22nd. ( "Blast" is up to 16 MB's per second ). As long as you are still on the Comcast fiber-optic...

Nope, not at all. I do know for a FACT that many traders who have issues with the Anvil Trading Platform do so simply because they have little knowledge about setting up the platform correctly, maintaining a speedy internet connection, etc. I trade REMOTELY and have to be very tech...

Once again, you show everyone here at ET that you have no clue whatsoever. Before the so-called "Emergency Rate Cut" after Martin Luther King Day, Fed Funds were trading nearly 2 points ABOVE the yield on the 2-year Treasury Note! For the 1200th time, that is NOT PUMPING a ton of money...

Yes, I did spend another $10.00 ( over the basic $42.95 service ) for the "Blast" service that gives "Up To 16 MB's" on download. Anyone that is already on the "Performance Plus" service ( which is "Up To 12 MB's on download and $52.95 ) will be automatically switched over to the "Blast"...

Understood. The Nvidia tech support guy said that the GeForce 6200 and the FX 5500 would be compatible with my existing PCI-Express GeForce 8600 GTS. We shall see.

This eVGA GeForce 6200 PCI card is looking mighty tastey! Even comes with the lower voltage and lower heat producing DDR-2 memory. Very rare for a PCI slot card! http://www.evga.com/products/moreinfo.asp?pn=256-P1-N399-LX&pwindow=specs&family= Circuit City has it for $49.99 online vs...

P.S. I am told by a tech support guy at Nvidia that the FX 5500 PCI slot card series would be compatible with my GeForce 8600 GTS.

gnome, the thought ( getting a fan-less PCI card ) has crossed my mind but I was kind of looking to upgrade the power supply anyway, even though I am fully aware that the 300 watt Dell PSU has some fairly robust rails, especially the +12V. The SATA to Molex adaptors that you see for $3.95...

Remember, these are very short-term financings. It is an "auction" market like the way the U.S. Treasury finances the government using T-bills every week. The reason why rates were 20% was because that was in the "contract" if you are trying to "roll" IF the banks ( like Goldman and Citi )...

Yes, I would agree 100% CNBC does seem to be a great measure of sentiment at the extremes.

The only thing that Santelli does is relay what the markets are telling him . . . It is easily done. The "talking-heads" on CNBC ( like "Dennis the Menace" who has still yet to figure out what Fed Funds are and how they relate to intra-market spreads and monetary policy ) just haven't ever...

While I agree that Santelli ( and Art Cashin for that matter ) are some of the more market savvy individuals on CNBC, THE reason why all the other "guests" that appear on CNBC pale to these 2 guys is because CNBC DOES NOT PAY ANYONE TO APPEAR ON THEIR PROGRAM. Thus, the people that DO APPEAR...

So far, I LOVE my new Vostro. The only "negative" that I can think of is that all of the extra connectors coming off the power supply are SATA. There are no "old-fashioned" molex type connectors on this Dell PSU. I have a PCI-slot graphics card that I want to install, but it has a fan on it...

The Dell Home ( or Business ) "Outlets" that sell refurbished computers ( anything less than 21 days old ). Late last month I just purchased a Dell Vostro-400 from their Business Outlet site in order to still use Windows XP and avoid Vista ( which is being packaged on all Dell machines now )...
