Hardware and Operating System – XP Professional OS and Service Pack TT recommends all client machines be installed with Windows XP and SP1 or higher. Note: The following operating system combinations are supported for a Japanese X_TRADER® machine: • Japanese Windows XP Professional • Non-Japanese Windows XP Professional running an East Asian Language Pack set to the Japanese language NIC Configuration • Ethernet cards must be on the latest driver version. Note: Per internal testing, TT has found that Nvidia cards can introduce random latency and disconnects.
