Two suggestions -- consider a separate machine for TS4 than for internet --
TS is fine on the same machine as other things for the most part, but every
once in a while some web site will crash IE and it sure would stink to have
to reboot TS because of some IE problem. You can netwok two computers,
internet connections, etc. pretty easily.
I use TS on a P700 with 2 21" monitors with 2 monitor cards -- one that came
with the computer and one that I bought for $20 on ebay. Not sure that I
would opt for the more expensive card if you just are using 2 screens, other
than saving the slot. Another thing is that the monitor card matters --
some newer cards do not interact well with TS drawing tools, though I have
not ever heard that about Matrox.
