These days a laptop is usually equipped with a second display port. Usually a VGA. Some: a VGA and a HDMI. However, you can only use either the VGA or the HDMI, not both at the same time, for your second display off your laptop. Then... when you add a USB-to-VGA (or USB-to-DVI) adapter, you...

Enclosed is a picture of my older, retired trading rig. An extra computer cooling fan glued to the chassis with silicone and Japanese chopsticks. :)

May not even need a table fan. As they are pretty big. I bought a 5" computer cooling fan. (Yeah, like "supersize me"). Then some Japanese chopsticks and some silicone... to mount the 5" fan inside the chassis to blow off the heated air from the processor with the side panel off. It draws...

Yes. Report the share number on the date you closed out your position. That's when you "realized" your gain/loss.

RE: What generates, and pushes the graphics bits to the display? The driver software generates and pushes the graphics bits through the USB port to the adapter, which converts things into DVI signals. RE: Would it be possible to use multiple Tritton UV200 USB-to-DVI adapters to extend...

Should post no problem. Happens all the time. e.g. when a company is late on their 10K filing their symbol will be changed from WXYZ to WXYZQ. And then back when they are cleared. Good luck with mergers and buyouts.... :) Just save your correspondences about the symbol changes in the...

Really? Didn't know that. Perhaps depending on the make/model. I have a few 22-inch: Samsang SyncMaster 2243SWX. It does support 1920x1080 resolution. Nice and compact. http://reviews.cnet.com/lcd-monitors/samsung-syncmaster-2243swx-lcd/4507-3174_7-33541174.html 22-inch for a...

I found it kind of ironic that the day (yesterday) NFLX got upgraded by some brokerage firms... and the shorts got squeezed big time... the Netflix website went down for a few hours. (From what I experienced it was more than a few hours, like 10...)...

Nasdaq Q's (the cube) was changed from QQQ to QQQQ some time back. And now it is being changed back from QQQQ to QQQ. Somebody couldn't make up their minds? http://www.forbes.com/2011/03/23/nasdaq-qqq-loses-a-letter-in-its-ticker-marketnewsvideo.html

Oops... I meant to say "22-inch are also good". 20-inch is a tad small. I have many monitors ranging from 22, 23 to 24.

With persistent blue screen issues I wouldn't press on. Unless you don't store any useful data on your box. If you use your box for your productivity activities (Word, Powerpoint, Excel, or photos, etc.), it is a lot of hessle to deal with lost productivities from unstable hardware/OS.

Thought that XP media would be free by now... :) Years ago bought an e-machine. First time experienced OS pre-loaded on the hard disk by box makers. Called them about getting the media (what if my harddisk went south?). They said "SOL". Later bought Hewlett Packard (Compaq) PCs. They...

24-inch. :) 17-inch wide would be like going back to CRTs. I think 24-inch is a sweet spot right now. Price affordable ($150 you can have one). Resolution is high and area big enough to view comfortably. Most manufacturer-made monitor stands support multiple mons up to 24-inch...

Would there be a bunker bed in the back seat? So you can lie down and take a nap when the market is slow? LOL

RE: Just a small suggestion: three 24-inch stacked on top of one another is gonna cause a major pain in the neck after a while. Sometimes one can think outside the box a little bit. Most of the multiple monitor stands are designed to set on top of the desk surface. I have 3 monitors...

All the USB-to-VGA (or DVI) adapters I bought 2 years ago only support the resolution up to 1680 x 1050. Diamond, IOGear and SIIG. I am in search of one of these adapters that would support the 1920 x 1080 configuration. Came to some real disappointments. Bought an IOGear GUC2020DW6...

It seems you have an onboard video on your computer. As soon as you add an external dual video card on the bus, your onboard video will most likely be disabled, leaving you with 2 video outputs for 2 monitors. To drive 3 monitors, may need to get 2 dual video cards. Or use a USB-to-VGA/DVI...

Thank you for the suggestion. No antivirus of any kind, or antispyware or the likes was running on the computer. I only use it for trading.

Have you used the second card all by itself? Does it work when it is the only card on the system?
