New Rig....but xp32 bit is recommended !!!

That's a MIGHTY WEAK argument. Is this an example of the logic you use for trading?

 

3 with possibility of 4 in time

 

Are you building or buying?

Will your motherboard support 2 PCIeX16 slots?

Which dual vid cards have you chosen?

 

Dell T3500

Yep

Two 512MB Ati FirePro V5700

 

What proc?
what are you paying if you don't mind?
i'm asking because i will either build again or buy sood too.

 

Agreed XP Pro is time tested and solid, much like NT was durng the 90s compared to windows 98 , Me and all the other crap that was rushed to market back then. Only thing better would be Unix but not enough power users to make a brokerage code for that class of user worthwhile.

 

What part of IB's inability to support a 64bit environment do you guys not understand?
Is it that you do not understand that a 64bit environment offers more stability & security than a 32bit?
Is it that you can't fathom why a deficient tech support and IT staff like IB CAN'T create a 64bit platform?

 

If that's really true, doesn't that make XP32 a logical choice for IB users?

 

Now that use of logic was funny..

 

. . . perfectly funny!!!!
