    praetorian2 Great educational explanation. Even though you are talking about NYSE stocks, would these phases be applicable for NASDAQ issues as well? Thanks.

    Installing XP

    tntneo, is right on with his description. New Microsoft OS's always have problems when they come out. The advice on waiting for at least the first service pack is great. From what I have read Microsoft is merging Win98 and Win2k into XP. In other words it is for the home user and the business...

    Matrox 450 dualhead question

    Nicodemus As far as I know there are two ways to handle this. I am assuming that you have Win2k. The first is you can reduce the size of the window using the middle button in the upper right hand corner of the window. Then grab the sides and top or bottom and stretch it only on one screen...

    dual head cards

    zxcv1fu You can use agp or PCI vid cards they will both work and if you use a dualhead, yes you can connect only 1 monitor to it if you want to.

    dual head cards

    zxcv1fu What your friend tells you is true about adding another vid card later, but be aware that not all vid cards work well together. The newer the vid card probably the better. Also vid cards from the same manufacturer may be better.

    dual head cards

    janko, On the RAM issue, make sure that your BIOS has been flashed with the most current update as it appears that you may be using an older computer. Also go to your motherboard site and see what the max RAM each slot will take on your particular motherboard. If it can take 512 then look at...

    Elitetrading room on yahoo has moved

    I am having a problem getting into the room. I even reloaded Yahoo Messenger as I thought that the one I had on my computer might have been out of date, but the new version does not do any better. When I click on Chat I get the JOIN ROOM dialogue box and then a message comes up and says...

    3 monitor set-up

    chuckm_ca I know your problem has already been solved, however the question about the G450 still needs some clarification. Using the G450 PCI and AGP one could display a separate resolution on each monitor using win98SE but not with Win2k, however new G450 drivers came out in September. Now...

    3 monitor set-up

    sallyboy I have never worked with a voodoo card so I cannot speak from experience. I hope that someone who has a voodoo card and a G450 replies to this thread. However, I can tell you that in theory it should work. You could add a G450 PCI card and install the new drivers for that card and...

    Problem with Very Low Computer System Resources

    sasha1 Magna is right on with his explanation. I had the identical problem you are having. I was running Win98SE and as soon as I switched to Win2K all those resource problems went away. I bought the upgrade version of Win2k because it was cheaper. I did a complete fdisk and format. When...

    Advice On New Computer

    Eldredge Sounds like a state of the art system. I think you will be happy with it. If you have the money get it. If you intend on adding more monitors in the future make sure you have free PCI slots available. Some manufactures order motherboards that have the minimum specs to keep the...

    3 monitor set-up

    Bukey Lee, If you are just adding an additional card you do not have to uninstall the drivers. You are just adding to the existing ones as you now have another piece of hardware (the new vid card) that needs drivers for it to interface with your PC. If you are downloading the most recent...

    3 monitor set-up

    sasha1 I built my own PC. I first loaded it with Win98SE, but I had to reboot a dozen times a day so I switched to Win2000. It does not crash hardly, and it is optimized to handle multi vid cards and it is a very stable platform for a trader. My PC has 4 sticks of Crucial 256 megs of...

    multi-monitor vs wide screen

    bronks I had the exact same questions about 6 months ago and did quite a bit of research on it. I currently run 9 montiors. Nine because I only have one 19 inch the others are all 14 and 15 inch monitors. I went the monitor route because I got them for free and only had to pay for four...

    3 monitor set-up

    sasha1 You will not have any problems at all adding another G450 card. I have 4 G450 PCI vid cards and 1 G450 eTV all dualheads of course. They are about $97.00 plus shipping. When you install your next G450 you will have to load the drivers for that card also from the CD. The software on...

    Monitor interference

    Since I cannot see your monitors it is hard for me to help, but you may try playing around with your refresh rates. Some monitors cannot handle 85 and will only function properly with 75 or 60 refresh rates especially if they are connected to the same vid card.

    Adding RAM

    It sounds as if your monitor is no longer connected to your computer. Check to make sure that the video cable is fully seated on the video connector on the video card. Also make sure that your video card and RAM are fully seated in their slots. If you removed anything else in order to put in...
