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. nitro
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. nitro
oh god the saga continues stay tuned for more boredom.. as the maroon moves into his next decade of "looserdom"
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.
