Ok, thanks Gottfried. It seems as though I have read some posts in past that indicated that above roughly 800 mhz the extra speed wasn't very needed for typical apps. The reason I might not splurge on a jazzier chip is that this would be an interim machine while I scheme on a really powerful dual processor W2k machine that would get me absolute maximum performance for handling trading software (RT3 etc) and downloading of massive amounts of data at high speed in real time. This has become an increasing challenge for modems, isps and machines and now that quotes are going decimal, it appears to me the quote data stream is going to be massively more complex and bulky to download and process. best, Rick
