Len, I take it then you consider a dual P2 machine not necessary for day trading, say, with MBT? I had thought about a dual P2-266 or 300 setup (seems like the value price point). Also, is the noise level as bad as some say for the new 10,000 rpm Seagate Cheetah drives? I though it would be a lot easier (albeit more expensive) to go the SCSI route (could hook up to 15 devices with SCSI UW). Thanks.

>> Therefore, my practice has been to buy the processor when it is about a year old or so, when it's at a price level where the subsequent price erosion won't be so dramatic.<<

In general I agree with you but in my opinion the A version of the Celeron CPU is an exception to this rule.
