Hi,
If a pc is used just for scanning (using some bundled software, eg.
silverscan) would it scan as well if it has limited memory eg. 128 or 256Mb?
Final image manipulation would be done on a different box with as much
memory
as necessary.

Hi,
It seems that the new version of FilmGet (1.0.3) for FS4000 is far far better
than pravious. Finally my slides after scanning looks as original. The
exposure and saturation is correct without any manipulation. May be
only calibration time is longer. Does somebody observe similar things ?
It is more expensive, but not that much more. I bought 512mb of RDRAM for
$160.

Is RDRAM a better choice for systems used for scanning and
processing large 2d image files?
The PC mags report recently (maybe Nov-Dec) that RDRAM is only a few
percent faster than DDR. It's
It's USB 1.1. Never seen an SS120, so I have nothing to compare. I'd bet it
was at least 3.9, as the SS4000 was very conservatively rated on Dynamic

Have you compared any scans from the Plus with the SS120? Do you know the

I own the 4000 ED and owned the SS4000.
It was a mistake. The Polaroid is a better scanner. The only advantage of
