Mogul,

I would spend dollars on the fast 10000 RPM drive before I kicked down for a Xeon on PIII 500.

I doubt you need more than 256M.

Get 2 - 128M Sticks of ECC and you'll have room for a another 256M.

It would help if you define what you do on your trading machine specifically.

Note: Trading machines don't play 3-d video games :) trading machines that require robustness run NT 4.0. NT 4.0 looks like 95/98, but doesn't support USB/PLug and Play/ play MOST Games well. Installation is harder. The results are worth the effort.

NT doesn't inherently suppport multimonitor. Matrox and STB have cards with Multimon drivers for NT. All the integrated mulitmonitor cards have NT 4.0 support.

Riva TNT's are great combo 2d/3d cards but doubt they do multimon in NT.
