Buy a brand. Preferable Dell. Biggest advantage, fine parts, more than
good enough, and if you buy the right one (dimension 4600 would be
my choise) you get a very nice affordable QUIET ! computer with no
fancy stuf but more than good enough for TS etc. The simplest one is
good enough would be my idea. (simple being 2.4ghz processor at the
moment) My idea would be that 512MB memory would also be enough.
(this idea comes from that i don't think you use them for doing a lot of
testing but primaraly for running your charts and trading of of those
charts)
Ofcourse, if you want power, go for the 3.06Ghz and 2gig of ram. My guess
is it will be overkill, specialy since you can not run many charts on your
pc anyway due to the fact of the 771 version of TS.

XP preferable professional (Probably home would be good enough also
but professional is my personal choice because of some features it has
wich i like) W2K is also very nice but my guess will be that support for
XP will be better the comming years than for W2K (again, just a thought
no facts)

Not possible to rebuild the indicators ? Why would they only run on 771 ?

I am not sure how to do that. I would contact the guy's at
www.traderssoft.com if for instance their Mixserver can do that trick.
