    Linksys WRT54GL

    I've been using this router for a while now, and it performs very well... needs a reboot about once every couple of weeks as the wireless side of the network gets flakey from time to time. I also replaced the antenna's with high gain, but that was to help improve the wireless to the other...

    Is Cable internet buffered?

    You misunderstood me; (or I was simply not clear) The 27/2 is the copper that sits between all the end points and the fiber. these speed limitations are imposed by the architecture of how CATV is carried over the copper leg; - they sliced out one 'tv channel' for upstream and another for...

    Is Cable internet buffered?

    buffered is probably not the best way to look at it; but it is happening.. data flows from your home via coaxial cable to a fiber node; Fiber nodes connect to distribution hubs, which connect to regional facilities, which eventually get you to an IP backbone then onto the internet...

    core 2 duo and WINxP 64bit

    That is not true... I've built many XP 64 bit systems based on core 2 duo... just make sure you get the 64 bit versions of all your drivers, tools etc together before you upgrade...

    win 2000 and core 2 duo

    Win 2K does in fact support 'multi threading'... I personally have developed many multi threaded apps on that platform. but - the recommendations from others to upgrade is sound. you will soon find it very difficult, if not just impossible, to find software / drivers that will run on...

    Question on Installing Second Monitor

    2 system with 4 will provide you a bit more security.. not having all your 'eggs' in one basket so to speak. If your single 6 monitor station fails, you lose 6 monitors and have nothing. If one of two stations with 4 monitors fail, you lose 4 and still have 4 running... Depends on your...

    Question on Installing Second Monitor

    good luck with that one... think about what a 'video splitter' does. It takes a single video stream and splits it into two, pushing the same identical stream to two monitors. These are good for things like showing off presentations of the SAME thing in a large room, etc... Also - you get...

    best (of several) solutions is to add a video card; depending on the model of dimension you picked up, the on-board video is probably not that great anyway.

    Satellite date feed for Global Strategy Trader Platform?

    I’ve worked with Huges in the past for high volume transaction processing; The delay’s won’t be an issue for most applications, unless they implemented their own udp protocol, instead of sticking with standard ip sockets (which is most common)… If the vendor implemented their own using...

    Building New computer Assistance.

    Decent build, but a few recommendations; Why would you use an ATA100 HDD; the MB supports SATA, Much faster, and has a future. You can pick up a 320 GB 16 MB Cache SATA drive for under $75.00 U.S these days; Because ATA drives are now considered legacy, they are generally more expensive than...

    How do I keep my trading computer running well?

    The short answer is that is not correct; XP can recognize more than 2 GB of RAM. Any 32 bit operating system (XP, Vista, Linux..) can recognize up to 4 gb of memory... This is just a plain mathematical fact you can take to the bank.. 32 bits, or 2^32 = 4,294,967,296 bytes, or 4 Gigabytes...
