Quoting foley1277
I am a newbie, so if you need anymore information to help me out, I will provide what I may be missing. But here are my specs:

Dell Inspiron 530 (basic, 14 months old)
650 Watt Power supply (antec)
2 NVIDIA 8400 GS video cars
2 19" Samsung syncmaster 943bxw
2 23" Acer H233H
2GB Ram

I originally had the two samsungs with one card. No problems at all. I now added the two acers with another of the same card. 90% of the time I have no issues. I trade fixed income. On occasions I freeze and it requires a manual boot and a 3-4 occasions I have gotten...
Look up Matrixxdg on FF and send him a PM. He is a good friend and has helped me loads on my stuff.

K.I.S.S.

Actually I used to have (well still have it but just not setup) a 100in screen with a projector. Now that I run dual 42's I'm selling it...maybe your dream can become a reality even sooner

Nevermind fxRichard. I see your previous post. Very nice bro!

I am thinking that the NVIDIA 8400 GS is just not good enough to run the 2 acers (23")?? I downloaded NVIDIAS temp gauge. One card runs around 80-90 degree C and the other 40-50 degrees C. Appreciate any help! thanks.
According to NVIDIA's website, the 8400 GS supports maximum 1920x1200 - basically only one of your two 23" monitors. You might solve the problem by reducing the resolution of the Acers, to maybe 800x1200 or 900x1200 each. Of course this defeats the purpose of having two 23", but that's likely the issue.

Thank you for the responses. Would getting a better video card for the Acers solve the issue? If so, would anyone recommend a better card? Thanks again

Yes, if you're sticking with your monitor setup, a better video card would solve the problem. You can research nVidia's website, and basically you're looking for a card to provide two outs, with each one up to 2560x1600. Going up to the GeForce 8600 might be your best bet, but most of the cards will do the trick. You don't need SLI, even if you have two cards - that's just for linking the two cards together, which you don't need to do. If you're constantly flipping through charts, there's some noticeable benefit to 512 memory versus 256, but it's not essential.

I use 2 monitors. 1 is all you really need.

Not for what I am doing. Bloomberg alone has 4 separate screens and then 3 different trading applications, all with streaming markets and separate pop-ups. Would be impossible with just 1. Still tough with 2, but four works perfectly. But thank you for your input!

FYI, I got it working perfectly, thank you everyone for your input. Much appreciated.

1080 TV's I assume? How far from them do you sit?

One is all you need. Some need a dozen. Hardware requirements vary as greatly as approaches to trading.

I would like to introduce a new ratio. It is defined as: profit/numberOfMonitors.

The higher the ratio the more electricity and monitors you save.

multiple small monitors is too messy for me, too many wires, too many power outlets. I have a 30" Dell 3007fpw and 1 20" 2007fpw ( which i rotate vertically) Nice and clean. I prefer the highest resolution, since it allows more windows to be on screen. some video cards don't support this resolution, but most of the new ones do. In time i would like to drop the 20 and get another 30".

Code 43 means the hardware device failed. If it's not a driver problem, then it probably means the hardware is dead. If you have access to another machine you can try to install it there, for a test - otherwise, hopefully the manufacturer gave you a one-year warranty.

It is a budget homemade multiscreen pc Win 7. I have great resolution and fully functional. I have a Quadro card powering this monster. Day Trading is my game and my system paid for itself.

Asus + PNY NVIDIA Quadro NVS 450 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express Graphics Card + 2 23in Dell + 21.5 Dell + 19in Gateway = Bad A$$.
