>> Any other advice or explanation for my system greatly appreciated.<< I am looking for system that have 3 monitors going the same time when displaying RT III, Netscape, Explorer. Would you recomend Appian J3 multimonitors video card? Or Matrox Productive (8 MB AGP), PCI (8 MB)? If I were setting up multimonitors and price were not an object I would go for a multimonitor card. You will use fewer PCI slots with a multimonitor card. Either use Win 95 or verify that they work in Win98. Software is a major consideration. You may want to review some of the previous multimonitor posts. They have been indexed in the auxiliary home.att.net Click on multimonitor for the mutimonitor posts. Click on complete site listing for a complete thread index. Click onward for links to multimonitor sites. I don't know if 8.3 Gbyte hard drive is enough or I should have 11.2 Gbyte yet? Any opinions? It depends on what you want to do.If all you are doing is real time trading as described in your post 8.4 is more than enough. I have never had enough harddrive space. I have a lot of programs, graphics files and historical stock data. My preference is for a minimum of two harddrives.( I have four in my machine as I do some experimentation) There are some issues with harddrives greater than 8.4 GB. In a new machine with a new motherboard and the latest bios this may not be a problem. I want to do things right the first time, or pay twice later You will pay again no matter what you do. This stuff goes out of date quickly. You are lucky if you get three years. Top of the line is generally not the way to go as you pay a premium and will not be top for long.
