Hey Nitro,

I tried to send you a PM over the weekend. Your mailbox was full. Should I try again?

Ugh,

Hold on, lemme clean it up and try again in a few.

The title of this thread should be changed to "the next time I jerk off on my computer key board".

I am almost to the point where I have ported my software. I will be turning the beast on it soon both in 32-bit mode and 64-bit mode. It will be interesting to see if the machine can keep up as I am throwing huge amounts of data and computational demands at it.

I will try to post some of what I learned.

Had big problems trying to get my existing software to run on 64-bit windows.

It has nothing to do with 64-bitness, but with the fact that .Net 2.0 changed a couple of things about GUI and thread handling and no matter what I do I get cross-thread exceptions. AFAIK, there is no way to get the older .NET installed on the new beta of Windows 64 for extended systems with Visual Studio 2005 beta.

I am thinkig of the right way to proceed. Until then, I am live on the Quad Opteron in 32-bit mode under 32-bit OS.

Why do you need all that .NET sh.t for your trading stuff?

Isn't ANSI C good enough (and 2x times faster BTW) ?

I use fread() for all my input and printf() for all my output and I am pretty much sure it'll be compatible with any 32 bit, 64 bit and 256 bit OS for 100 years to come.
