Go for the Pentium III Coppermine if one can afford the $PRICE$ or has a lot of
$$$$ money to burn because the RDRAM is very very very expensive.  With that in
mind, I think the most affordable solution is to get an Athlon.  As for the OS,
Microsoft decided to stop selling windows NT workstation and NT Terminal Server
4.0, so you don't have much of a choice but Windows 2000 or Windows 9x.
Shredder will run on Windows 2000, and NT is a better OS than Windows 9X and it
does not loads a bunch of drivers which would otherwise eat away the computer
resources.  Hope this helps.
