Processing performance is fine, even without the latest equipment. I
have a dual 1.25 G4 with a large scratch disk and 1.5 gig of ram. It
zips right along on 144 meg, 16-bit files. Storage isn't a big problem.
Both drives and DVDs are relatively inexpensive.

Well, for doing that you're taking a huge hit on file size and
processing performance in many cases where it's not needed. It does
make things easy, but I prefer not to have to spend quite so much for
equipment.

A 360 dpi file is optimum for the Epson 2200 and 2400. Yes, there are
files that will print fine at 180 dpi, but as you noted, not all will
do so. To keep my methods standard, I upsize every file to print at
360 dpi. But as I noted, I do it in the RAW converter. It may not
always be necessary, but it's foolproof.
