Jeffery If you're going to be scanning in color Rollei scans at high-res (eg 4000dpi) then what you really need is memory. I struggle with 1GB when doing a 16bit scan on chromes - files are c. 500MB. If you can simply pop in 4G to your existing machine I would expect very respectable PS performance.
I mean a whole new one. But if just getting about 4gb memory for my current one will work, then I'll do it!

For the same amount of money, will a PC serve me as well as a Mac? If I'm going to shoot for a $2500 spending limit (for just the computer, not the PhotoShop), how would it be best spent? I can add external hard drives, so internal hard drive space is not so much a concern. > > > > Jeffery > > --- > > Rollei List > > > > - Post to rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > > > > - Subscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' > > in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org > > > > - Unsubscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with > > 'unsubscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org > > > > - Online, searchable archives are available at > > //www.freelists.org/archives/rollei_list > > > > -- > > No virus found in this incoming message. > > Checked by AVG Free Edition. > > Version: 7.0.394 / Virus Database: 268.10.5/406 - Release Date: 08/02/2006 > > --- > Rollei List > > - Post to rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > > - Subscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' > in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org > > - Unsubscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with > 'unsubscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org > > - Online, searchable archives are available at > //www.freelists.org/archives/rollei_list > >
