Not a Dream Machine, but ....

1. How many computers are you using in your trading station? 1

2. What CPU are you using in your trading station? 200 MMX Pentium

3. What CPU would you recommend others use in their trading station? Pentium II 300 MHZ or faster if buying new

4. How much memory are you using in your trading station? 128 MB

5. How much memory would you recommend others use in their trading station? Minimum 64 MB, 128 MB better.

Windows can eat up 30 MB itself and the cache also quite a bit .... If you don't want Windows to use Virtual Memory (disk) which can cause Windows to halt for a few seconds while writing to/from the swap file, then you need at least 64 MB.

6. What operating system are you using in your trading station, Win 95/ Win NT? Win 95

Will install Win98 when available for its MMX support and bug fixes

I check a couple of times a month for upgrades for all of my software and drivers and install them promptly ... This can drastically improve the reliability and speed of even older computers

7. What operating system would you recommend others use in their trading station? Win 95, Win98 or Windows NT

8. If the trading station was also being used as Network Address Translation server for two other trading stations connected to a high speed internet connection, 10 megabits per second, what CPU would you recommend? Have no idea.

I have a single 20" monitor .... Would like a 24" but they don't exist yet. Multiple monitors don't turn me on, but I can see where others might like them.

Hope this helps in some way.

John
