Don't tell me I am the only person here who trades on a reclined lazy-e-boy and a laptop? :eek:

How do you get 8 monitors hooked upto one machine? Do you have to have a speical computer made, or could I get a special VGA card for it?

Banjo · Nov 11, 2006

I think XP supports up to 10 monitors. Down and dirty answer: dual video cards, replace the AGP card with a dual out put and add 3 dual PCI/PCIE cards in 3 slots. You'll probably need to bump up system memory and a larger power supply if you don't have a robust machine. Mother board should be quality also. It's a really simple thing to do with a lot of hardware traps for the unwary.

yes, banjo is correct. i can run 6 monitors with 2 predator pro graphic cards, however have 5 operating. if you are not very computer savvy, i suggest you pay a nerd to assist set up--getting everything to run in the proper order can be paitence trying.

Just make sure all the video cards use the same chipmaker. I prefer nVidia, but just stick to one maker so that you can use one driver to run all of them.

Leung: I guess in your hurry to lube yourself, you don't know the difference between "broad" and "board". LOL.

I forgot to mention the CRT monitor was displaying the drama <24 hours>, my favorite American TV drama. The president(David) is on the screen at that moment

WD40,

maybe you give them a lube...

Sorry, can't resis...

Anyway, the last generation are so uneducated (my family included) on their hobby trading, you see them wasting their income/saving on the stock/forex...

Are you so furking shollow you that you can't enjoy your time with a woman other than furking them?

If you are a Hong Kong Chinese, and can't find enjoyment from anything other than sex, you got furk yourself. Stop embarrassing your own race in front of the rest of the world.

THese C9 traders move millions and billions of dollars each day, and you call them uneducated? and you term their profession "hobby trading"? What education have you got? What have you learned? Show me you can trade better than any of these C9 traders.

Just my 2 cents.

p.s. I am a qweilo living in SZ.

I am only academically trained, never worked professionally in a trading capacity, traded equity for 2 years, working with a mechanical system since middle of this year, and went live since late august. 17% since that.

Good words, I guess I should keep my ass shut now.
