    Advice on P4 PCI bug problem

    I have done some research on this subject, it seems that the P4 PCI bug stems from the ICH2 component of the earlier P4 boards. The newer boards now have been revised with a correct B1 prime stepping which solves the problem. So there are no more PCI graphics card problems with the current...

    Advice on P4 PCI bug problem

    I am currently using a Dell Precision 220 with Dual PIII 866 with 512MB RDRAM. I have been having problems trying to get my 4 monitors to work with these card combinations: (1) AGP- GF3 64MB PCI- GF2 MX400 64MB SH PCI- GF2 MX400 64MB SH PCI- GF2 MX400 6MB SH (2) AGP- GF3 64MB PCI-...

    Any brokers using quote/recv order servers located in West Coast?

    I would like to know if any brokers are using quote servers that are physically located at the West Coast. Realtick has a couple of quote servers but I'm not sure if any is located in the west coast. If I use a quote server located at the East coast, my ping goes up an additional 70-80ms...

    Appian Video Cards good for games?

    The win2000 drivers as of date for Jeronimo2000 card is really slip-shod work and they have not updated its driver for at least a year. If you are looking to use win2000 or intend to in near future, i suggest very strongly to stay away from this card. The win2000 driver for jeronimo 2000...

    Quad cards.... Appian?

    Well, in fact I have a similar Matrox G400Max and also the Jeronimo 2000 card. I use win2000. But the Jeronimo 2000 card's win2000 driver is so poorly written I get problems displaying my desktop at bootup, and even when it displays at bootup, 2D detail is so poor I can't even read the ''My...

    Appian Video Cards good for games?

    Hmmm...if you are looking to play 3D games with good fps, you have to get a multi-monitor card that has a chipset catering to 3D opengl or direct3d support. The appian card that I know that specialises in 3D opengl performance is the appian jeronimo 2000. It uses the 3DLabs permedia3 chip. But...

    Update on RT3 Users and their computer specs

    I would like all RT3 users to show and share what computer specs they are currently using. (And if the current specs are doing fine for the varoius programs they run daily, and if they would like to upgrade any particular component which they think may be a weak link to overall system...

    How fast is ARCA?

    100 shares 5 secs? Nope. I have been with MBTrading, now Terranova-MB and I use the RealTick platfrom. At first, I hated to use the old ARCA route because it preferenced MMs as well. But now I use and use only the new ARCA-NOW route which creams off ECNs only (BTW I configured my L2 to only show...

    Trading schools-good or bad?

    No one here recommending http://www.undergroundtrader.com? I personally think they are not bad. Have heard from other traders who use the chatroom, and so far its been good feedback. I was and still am drawn to it, as it fits my trading style, that is strict technical analysis with time frame of...

    do you IB customers have difficulty to short in down side?

    The uptick rule is just a way the SEC uses to hinder the downslide of a stock price. IB users: Can you guys short on downtick?

    RealTick Order Entry

    Lancer, I have received your email attachments and had a look at it. I will go as far to say that a purpose hardware keypad would be needed. Where assigning specific routes and functions to the layout buttons would require alot of experience/optimization. It would be difficult to push TAL...

    RealTick Order Entry

    ArchAngel are you there? I read in a post somewhere that you are going to get a touch screen LCD and place your OES there. Have you done that yet? If you have, how is it going? I'm another Realtick user. Realtick is great, it just needs a little refining as you can read from the posts...

    RealTick Order Entry

    Lancer, I do monitor both my cpu usage and also my bandwidth. I will know if either becomes the bottleneck for a given situation. I am saying that the MM window's timeandsales is the worst consumer of both bandwidth and cpu usage. This is because the MMtimeandsales window has to report...

    Nasdaq/OTCBB Securities To Trade in Decimals on March 26, 2001

    What is new? They don't know what these MMs do in real-life trading on the L2. I have removed MM's quotes on my L2, I just trade ECNs and if the spread or liquidity is not good enough, I go to another stock that fits my requirements, otherwise I don't trade at all. Do you just think MMs...

    where are the huge sell orders from?

    If I'm not wrong its the last executed price. I think the official definition of an up/down tick is at the NASD website. I just wish they revised the uptick rule. It really gets in the way of shorting a stock. Sometimes there would be an uptick BUT you've got to be fast with your order entry...

    RealTick Order Entry

    If I could add, the realtick that I use with TerraNova-MB has what I would consider a glitch, I'm not sure if other realtick users have come across but certainly I'm not alone with at least 2 to 3 TerraNova-MB realtick users. What happens is that when any symbol is loaded onto the MM window...
