I can't help you with a recommended trading station, but I can tell you the
Dell XPS D300 is a great machine, although I have one with 8GIGs. I
received it just prior to Christmas and it's working fine--although
sometimes on shutdown, it won't shut down automatically. (May be a problem
in the registry which I'll take a look at and see if I can fix it. Hope
this helps!!

Subject: DAY-- Good Monitors/Trading Stations?
>Real Traders,
>
>I am looking for an experienced trader to talk trading station hardware.
>It's time for me to take the plunge on a new system. I have been trading
>on one 15" monitor. (I operate in a total vacuum out of my home here.
>Nobody that I know can tell me anything about trading stations.)
>
>I am about to buy two to four 19" monitors from Dell, (made with the flat,
>low glare, high resolution 19" Hitachi tube that is used by Dell, Micron,
>MAG, Gateway, and others). I was wondering if other traders are using
>this monitor? Other models to recommend?
>
>Will 19" do it or do I really need the 21" jumbos?
>
>What do you think of the Dell PII 300 XPS Dimension system---for the
>brains behind the monitors? (64 megs of RAM, 6.4 gig HD)
>
>Is the Colorgraphics "Evolution 4" with 4 megs of SGRAM per monitor a good
>video card to support 4 monitors?
>
>I primarily daytrade the S&P futures right now. I use about 8 active
>charts : Cash index, current contract, TICK, premium, and use various
>versions of tick charts, point and figure, etc. I plan to place about 4
>intraday charts on each monitor. Having about 6 or 8 charts up at the same
>time is key to my trading needs. I guess you call me a "discressionary
>trader" or a "tape reader". I work hard to hit precise entry points--and
>use tight stops--and I just need to have a good view of all the charts at
>the same time.
>
>I like the spirit of sharing information that I have seen at RealTraders.
>Any advice you could offer would be much appreciated.
