I use NS 3.1 on a Dell Precision 420 Workstation with dual 933 P3's and 768 MB RDRAM with three IBM HD's of 27, 60 and 75 GB capacity respectively. NS 3.1 does work but it can crash unexpectedly. The usual scenario is that it crashes after four or five 16-bit scans and takes PShop 6.1 with it. I figure that about ten minutes out of every hour is wasted because of the crashes. It makes no difference whatsoever which background tasks, services, etc. are running. I can count on periodic NS crashes. Bashing my head against the wall would be more fun and yield about the same results. Getting help from Nikon support is futile.
