A friend of mine who does serious medium-format photography just got a professionally-done scan back of one of his transparencies. a 4"x5" image scanned at 10,780dpi on a high-end drum scanner; I don't know what the color depth it scanned at was, IIRC, it was 48- bit color. Image came to 310MB in size. Opening that image on his 512MB 1GHz P3 box took a LONG TIME as the system desparately swapped disk space for RAM and so on. If speed is important, RAM is a much better choice than disk! Just in case anyone wondered if there was a use for 1GB of RAM ... if you have a spare gig of PC133 RAM you'd like to find a use for, send it to me, I'll put it to use. ;-) David gnome@hawaii.rr.com _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@winehq.com http://www.winehq.com/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
