Curious, does anyone here make the trading computer dedicated or do you use it to surf or run other application while you are staring at charts? I'm building a new system but wondering if I should use a 2nd smalller system just for web searching and program usage. Didn't know if that...

When is this IPO happening? (Love NEwegg.com too) I wish we could get in on it with TDameritrade, or any IPO. ALso, Even if you have a broker accoutn with JP morgan, don't you STILL need to be a "high roller" to get in?
