off topic >>how did you attempt access? What message constitutes 'denial'? Have you tried printing to a printer hanging on the other PC?<< In Windows explorer there is a network neighborhood "folder" with a + next to it. I click on the + and it expands one level. Now there is a "folder" called Entire Network. When I click on this plus to expand to the next level the message is "unable to browse the network, the network is unaccessible" and then it refers me to the trouble shooter. I can see Zeus1 from Zeus2 if I go to windows explorer/tools/find computer and then type in Zeus1. It shows up and tells me it is in the zeusnet workgroup. I right click/properties/tools/netwatcher and I get the message "access to this server is denied" I tried the printer per your suggestion and get the same result. From zeus1 I was able to send a print to a printer on zeus2 (had an error message..."msgsrv32 not responding"had to clear it before it went through) When I tried to install the network printer on zeus2 it stopped me when I asked it to browse the network for a printer with the same message "unable to browse the network..." Thanks Zeuspaul

Tradestation...bottleneck..DUAL CPU's NT will can make use of DUAL CPU's but that doesn't mean it will. If Tradestation is "multithreaded" then both CPU's will be used. If Tradestation is not multithreaded then it will only make use of one CPU and you will have a RAM penalty (someone please correct me if I am wrong). If you are running programs in addition to Tradestation in a "multitasking" environment then NT will split the tasks between the programs. If the other programs make significant use of the CPU then there will be a benefit to DUAL CPU's. If money isn't a controlling factor and you need as much speed as possible the DUAL CPU's would probably give you the best performance as long as you sized the RAM per processor. IMO Most of my problems with NT have related to using "old" programs and DUAL boot systems. I would prefer to configure one computer rather than two in the same box. Dual boot isn't bad if it is set up right. My guess is that if you start from scratch with NT "certified" programs that NT wouldn't give you a problem with overhead. It seems to be the operating system of choice, it just doesn't operate on as many programs as WIN95 yet. There is still a lack of support drivers for some applications. I believe NT makes more efficient use of RAM than Win95. This may vary between applications. Sometimes there is a speed penalty for too much RAM. I don't know if this is for NT and WIN95 or just Win95...something about using the RAM from the top down?? Haven't seen a DUAL monitor card for AGP yet..I get most of my DUAL monitor info from Streetwalker and Dirke. You can put a single card in the AGP and another one in a PCI slot. Are the multiple monitor cards fast? I know they have fast RAM but there is more to it than that. I have had significant improvements in speed in some of my systems by just changing a video driver. I would guess 25 percent in some cases. Wouldn't two computers networked together be a better solution than dual monitors? Don't know your applications but just asking. One of the PC Power and Cooling cases has room for two motherboards. You could put two computers in one box! I would think you would have a more stable system with two computers. The more multitasking you do the better chance of a freeze-up. JMHO Zeuspaul
