Giff Constable of the Electric Sheep Company helped me pull together additional GOM data, so I’ve created a new graph that includes volume data from before October of 2005.

Here’s the source data:

By popular request I’ve put together the GOM and LindeX L$ exchange rate data for the past three years.

I picked up a nVidia 8800GTX at launch and much to my dismay Second Life would refuse to launch.  Instead it would only show a small dialog box with an error indicating that it didn’t like the video driver.  So I’ve waited patiently for a driver update from nVidia, but still nothing.  At some point while scouring the web for more information about this problem I saw a message that indicated that all 32-bit OpenGL apps were failing under Windows XP x64 on the 8800 series boards.  So this morning I decided to see if I could find a work-around for the problem.  I dug around a bit and it appeared that the part of the video driver that supports 32-bit OpenGL apps was simply not copied correctly by the video driver installer.

I managed to get Second Life running under Windows XP Pro x64 using the 96.89 drivers… here’s what I did:
- I copied DriversXP64nvogl32.dl_ from my evga install cd to a temporary directory
- I opened a command window (Start->Run->”cmd”)
- I changed directory to the temporary directory where I copied nvogl32.dl_
- I ran: expand nvogl32.dl_ nvogl32.dll
- I copied nvogl32.dll from the temporary directory to C:WINDOWSSysWOW64

I hope this helps out some other early-adopters.

We were experiencing caching problems with the LindeX “Trades in the Past 24 Hours” graph that were compounding the database issues so I’ve disabled the graph for now.

Here’s the sample LSL script to go with the previous post and some additional information
