>For a trading machine which IMO should have reliability as a number 1 consideration, my thoughts for the core configuration are Windows NT IBM harddrive (SCSI RAID if you want to "go for it") Intel motherboard (AL440LX single or DK440LX Dual) Intel 333 PII (runs cooler)< Zeuspaul Okay, I'm getting interested in the SCSI harddrive. All I know about them is that they can read and write at the same time and that they are noisy. What are the pros and cons? How much faster are they? You recommend the SCSI RAID. Who makes this and the price? The new guy on the thread just bought an IBM SCSI. I've also read a tiny bit about the Cheetah SCSI. How do they compare? I also like the P2 333 for same reasons. I don't think I need a network card. I'll have to check the Suprasonic to see if it is PCI or ISA. Motherboard is still open for considerations, along with brand name of RAM. S.W.
