    Most Windows 7 PCs max out memory

    Unless you move to a 64bit OS - Windows 7 will ONLY utilize 3G of memory - this is a limiatation of the 32 bit OS. Look at your device manager in Windows 7 32bit - it will say the total memory in the system, but then "total useable memory is 2.99G or something"

    Looking to buy a new PC

    If you are using Windows XP 32bit - 3G of memory is all it will use. No reason to go to 4G unless you are using Vista 32bit. XP 32bit has a max of 3G, no matter what you are doing. 64bit will utilize more memory, but make sure your trading apps will run with it.

    Virus Tech Support - A Testimonial and Warning... (my thoughts anyway)

    All good points. The FRD drive (which I forgot about) is appartenly for that reason - although that works for a virus or hard drive or software problem, but not another computer problem like a power supply as they said, so a second system is a great idea. Guess I will go out to Best Buy and...
