Pete,
 
We run TS 8.3 on one of our machines with single core and 1g RAM,
3 workps with a total of ~20 windows, some with @ER2, 150 tbars
and 20 days of data, in fast markets, without problems.
Very seldom do we see differences in bars betw PCs due to missed ticks.

TS is really CPU intensive and need lots of RAM.  I know folks having no problems if running dual core CPUs with 2-4 Gigs of RAM.  Anything less for many Desktops with many Workspaces with many charts and you will probably run into trouble.

Interesting post above that indicates some TS traders experiencing "freeze-ups" during tick data bursts....
especially emini futures.
I think some of the problems are related to level II quotes which just cause a barrage of data to the workstation.
 
Win/XP as well, appears to be a culprit....not the best for trading applications :

I run both Tradestation and eSignal. The nice thing about using
Tradestation when scalping index futures contracts is that most of the
internal market data series that I follow (NYSE Tick, Trin, Premium,
P/C ratio) are updated every second. eSignal updates them every 6
seconds. More frequent updates means that you're less likely to miss
critical extreme readings.
