Best PC/Monitor Configuration to Research Audio

As I get busier and more pressed for time, I often find myself frustrated with my computer configuration, limited space on my desktop and starved for RAM when I try to open up multiple windows.

If I am reading music posts in Audiogon, for example, I might also like to leave iTunes open with plenty of room to read, while having the ability to search other websites to buy the CD, perhaps while also keeping half an eye on my emails and instant messages and/or working on a document.

Thinking that many of you are probably very good at web based research, I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on

1) operating systems
2) monitors
3) memory or any other considerations that you would recommend to research, ready and shop for music and audio as quickly and comfortably as possible.

Thanks for any ideas.

I'll third the MAC thing, once you go Mac, you won't go back!

While I love Sufentanil (the drug silly!) I must encourage you to go bigger than 20", I use the Apple 23", which is 1920x1200 and it does well for me on those multi site days.

I once again am in envy of Albert Porter's toys, I am debating buying the 30" monitor he has, but to be honest I doubt I, or you CW would need that much real estate, Albert does a lot of photography work and obviously needs the space, on my 23" I typically have several apps running multiple items per and can easily navigate them all on the 23"s I have, and yes the 30" is ~$1K more...
