Building My Trading Rig (A Documentary)

The memory I picked are a preparation for OC.
DDR2 PC2-6400/800MHz, CAS 4-4-4-12
2 x 2048 DIMM
I was tempted to go 8GB, but decided to hold off to 4GB. The memory price will probably go lower by the time I need the full bank.

Can you explain a little bit about why vista 64bit? From what I've briefly read there's not a lot of applications that run on it?http://compreviews.about.com/od/buyers/bb/DesktopPCs.htm
That's a good little site for beginners like me but you must have done a lot of research yourself to want to install it.

You are correct that there are NOT a whole lot of applications for Vista, let alone for the 64 bit version.
Even on applications that "claim" to support Vista, most of them are going through teething pains.
If you ask me for recommendation, I would say XP for sure. The OS is stable, the drivers are plenty. There is just no reason to change.
I happen to run 2 programs that can take advantage of VISTA 64 bit, thus my decision to give this OS a try. I can always fall back to XP if this does not work out.
