    Anybody successfully runs 10+ monitors in Win7?

    Just exactly what does "prefer" mean? What happened when you didn't have the "least amount of cards"?

    Wht do I keep blowing fuse?

    The wattage just didn't seem to add up. 2 desktops, 4 monitors, assuming no other high-amp appliances involved, shouldn't come close to 1800W.

    Wht do I keep blowing fuse?

    I have a difficult time understanding why that is slightly exceeding the 15 amp current drawn. In my trading room I have 3 desktops (about 600W power supply each), over 20 monitors, laptop, sound system, a few cooling fans. All on the same circuit and no problem so far. The breaker is 15A I...

    Buying a System...

    I thought that with your knowledge on hardware, that you would enjoy building a box yourself? ? I built 3 on my own. Result of frustations when shopping for ready-to-run models that all of what I looked at did not support anything more than 1 PCIe X16 slot. And I enjoy the process of...

    Anybody successfully runs 10+ monitors in Win7?

    Scataphagos is right. I am so sorry. I messed up on typing the model number. They are: 8400 GS, made by EVGA, 512MB onboard RAM, PCIe V2.0 The very clear symptom to me is: 4 of such cards, everything happy. Added the 5th card, everything went to hell. Windows spent >20% of CPU...

    Anybody successfully runs 10+ monitors in Win7?

    I may have found the cause of the performance issue with driving 10 monitors from my box. With my MSI Big Bang XPower motherboard, the manual said: 1 or 2 PCIe x16 slots occupied: will run each @ x16 3 or 4 PCIe x16 slots occupied: will run each @ x8 5 or 6 PCIe x16 slots occupied: will...

    What's the fun if I don't need to camp outside the Apple store the night before the gadget's release date to get one? :)

    Multi Monitors - 5/6 monitor setups - selection help

    I think your layout looks nice. I assume that the 2 vertical monitors can be panned slightly towards the trader's eyes? Same goes for the top row horizontal monitor, that it can be tilted slightly down towards the eyes? On my issue with the portrait config in Windows: when I tried it, I...

    Multi Monitors - 5/6 monitor setups - selection help

    Good luck setting it up TJ. I had hell of a time trying to set up only 3 mons in a 3x1 grid all in portrait configuration (Win 7 64-bit Ultimate). Windows crapped. An i7-950 CPU, 6GB RAM. While running TradeStation, CPU was constantly at like 80% busy (it's around 10% and under all day when I...

    Anybody successfully runs 10+ monitors in Win7?

    Thanks for the suggestions Scataphagos, Cokezero and TJ. You guys are probably right. Some bus bandwidth issue. Never thought that might be a showstopper. Well TJ I already have 3 i7 boxes. 2 each drives 6 monitors. This is the third one I just set up. Driving 8 mons. I still have 4...

    Windows 7 (64) Beep Driver

    Interesting. But if they really want the users to keep having such an audio feature in their software, I am sure they can find ways to make a sound on the PC with the newer system calls.

    Matcha's Dow E-mini Journal

    You don't have the "Vol With Direction" indicator. But you can construct a similar chart using TradeStation's built-in indicator called "Momentum". Their shapes look very similar. I like "Vol With Direction" better because it incorporates the volume information in the indicator instead of...

    M: You had asked about the matter of multiple time-frames. I want to show you something. Just use your YM trades today 3/3/11 as an example. Backdrop: today was a big bullish day. Rapid up in the morning and stayed green all day. Not much to do except to long the drops. I have a...

    Digital vs. analog display support...

    I think the difference may be minimal. I have a box that contains 4 x EVGA 8400 GS cards. Each card has 1 DVI out (digital) and 1 VGA out (analog). I hooked up 8 x 24" monitors to this box. 4 of them on VGA cables. 2 of them on DVI cables. And 2 of them I used the DVI-to-HD15 connectors...
