ZeusP/ Networm Rely #797

Not buying the bleeding edge makes sense as per Networms reasoning. In my case, total system cost is a consideration and adequate RAM is priority #1. I'm trying to get a handle on just what each CPU ( 233-400) offers ( and doesn't offer) to a trading system so that when I do injet the price constraints I'll know better what I'm getting and what I'm not getting in CPU. In other words, what advancements other than sheer speed are involved in the array of CPU offerings. Zeuspauls mention of lower running temp in the 333 would be an example. For all I know there might be a characteristic other than speed which is important to a trading machine. Smooth CPU/Mobo reliability matchup comes to mind . I'm sure the speed of any CPU >300 would be fine.

I hope I am understandable because I just got back from traveling and I'm really pooped. Think I'll hit the hay now.........
