    Peter,

    Great job!

    When can we see some initial '1 photo' scans, compared to the drum scanner?

    Thanks

    Re: Ektar vs New Porta 160

    Thanks Ben,

    sensitivity is not as important to me as latitude and grain.

    I don't mind using Ektar ( for the lower grain) as long as it provides the latitude.
    It's just the highlights blown...

    Brian,

    I haven't built anything yet.

    Most all the intel motherboards i've seen have 4 slots only.

    The one with 8 slots is socket LGA 2011 and requires a $600 i7 chip.

    Re: Computer for CS5

    Thanks Greg.
    Most of my files will be 1gb, but a few could be up to 4gb (2 stitched layered 4x5 at 4000 dpi)

    So maybee I should bite the bullet and spend the extra money for RAM.

    Brian,

    I could spend the extra $230 for 16gb ram, = $14 per GB
    or for $93 could get a 80GB SSD. = $ 2.3 per Gb

    Much more cost effective to get 16GB memory + 40 Gb SSD (For...

    Re: Computer for CS5

    The sweet spot for memory right now is 16GB for $100
    But 32GB 4x 8gb is $330. (triple the price)

    you can get 4gb x8 for $170 or so, but then you need a motherboard with 8 slots.

    Brian,

    Do you think 16gb is enough for 2 GB files or is 32gb required if you don't want to go to scratch disk?

    Re: Computer for CS5

    Nigels,

    You were right,
    Win 7 Home premium is still limited to 16gb.
    You would have to bump up to professional for 192Gb supported.

    Thanks for the tip.

    Thanks.

    So how much capacity is required for the scratch disk? I was under the impression 60gb would be enough and thus could use a SSD. It's only about a $100 now.
