I have a relatively old 2.7gH Intel chip with 1.5GB of memory and don't have any real issues multitasking with various other window up while working on an image. Why have such large files? Manipulating 16bit files keeps the image looking better, scanning at a high dpi gains most of the detail in the image, and you never know what you will do with an image. DVD's are cheap and will get much cheaper now that the new generation of storage, HD and Blue Ray, is here and the media battles start up again. In about a year when prices drop I will pick the hopeful winner and start duplicating CD's and DVD's I already have. It will be another chance to resort the images into a more coherent database.
