Vendit, since I am not familiar with the configuration of your computer, let me tell you the configurations of the computers I have successfully used Streamer from.

I have been using Datek for about 8 months and have had no problems whatsoever. I use it from 3 different computers; 2 at work and one at home. While 1 of my desktop (at work) is a PII 333 Mhz, my other desktop is a AMD K2 333 Mhz. and my laptop at work is PII 166 MHz. All of them use Windows 95. They all have at least 32 Mb RAM.And they are all namebrands (Micron, Compaq and Dell not some Taiwanese assembled with some esoteric ROM software that could possibly interfere with real update software such as Datek's streamer) I use AOL from home and have T1 at work. And I have no problems.

Since Streamer is real time, it takes up CPU and RAM bandwidth. Couple with that it takes up considerable communication bandwidth. So my recommendation would be to make sure that you have the latest and greatest computer hardware.

Now all things being equal, you may ask how is it that you do not have any problems with DLJ. If that is so then I would look at the servers at Datek and DLJ. Maybe DLJ has better servers than Datek.

Hope this has been of some help.
