Dual Processors, etc.

Again, thanks to all those who responded to my prior computer questions. 
I've gained a of insight & I hope others have too.

Any opinions on dual processors for either TS4 or TS2K (I have TW too, for 
that matter, for those who have it & have or are running it).

Would it better to get a single 933 or say 2, 733's (or whatever is close)?

Also, I might add, that one day a week, I'll be using web programs, 
Dreamweaver and Fireworks during market hours while collecting via BMI 
satellite.

BTW, from the responses Dell won hands down. And in Sep issue of PC 
magazine, a review of workstations was done and the Dell 420 workstation 
was given top choice. Gateway made a rather poor showing. So at least one 
decision has been made.

Actually two, as the fastest ULTRA hard drives seem to be either very close 
or even superior to SCSI drives and less of a headache.

Presently, I have a separate hard drive for my C: drive. ITW, if it goes 
down, I can restore from a backup after formatting the hard drive (assuming 
it's still useable). I keep everything else on another drive.

Is that overkill or as smart as I think it is? I plan to use Drive Image to 
make frequent copies of my C: drive for backups, since the thought of 
re-installing everything is just too time consuming with my schedule.

Is there a sharper way to do what I'm trying to do? (Ha, most likely!).

For those who use CRT monitors rather than LCDs, do your eyes ever bother 
you? I spend a LOT of hours in front of the screens and mine do.  Hence the 
thought of getting LCD monitors rather than CRT.

Someone warned me about going too high-end. I agree with that since I don't 
want to be spending my time fighting the computer, rather than paying 
attention to the market. Plus, I'm no computer tech, so unless the problem 
is easy, I need help.

FWIW, Matrox makes a dual digital monitor card. But the dvi cable they 
recommend with it is only 6 feet long. Does anyone know of another source 
for such a cable, perhaps 9 feet or so?

Thanks again,

FPI
