256 megs of ram if you want to do IE multiple windows - I usually run 15-20 at a time on one computer successfully - much more and system resources can get so low that seperate processes do crash entire browser (general windows fault) - you will begin to notice parts of the taskbar disappearing on new windows - use resource meter - not all memory or cpu's are created equal either - check this site out - www.tomshardware.com - specifically
tomshardware.com for a primer on ram - can't stress quality level products enough - crash in the middle of a trade and lose 5k in just a matter of minutes and the extra dollars will not seem to have been so much. Agree with others on list - get best/fastest equipment you can afford and then some. Preferrable multiple screens - 21" viewsonics my recommendation - if you have the funds in house network of several computers running multiple OS's (just cause you never know - hackers have harder time with multiple OS's) with DSL/CABLE - always with backup - regular phone line - hughes direcpc - also can't stress the importance of proper ergonomics - good chair ergocybe.com or here officeorganix.com - good keyboard -
kinesis-ergo.com - good mouse - contourdesign.com - all can add up - but after you get carpal tunnel - you WILL regret it - surgeons have too much money already - don't help them out :)
