Fortunately my new Pentium 4 PC with a gig of ram should handle the
large files from the new scanner.

Two words:

Athlon 64

I considered going that way. I can thank Scott W. for talking me out
of it. I'm sure the gamers are loving it though. I'm also sure that
by the time any of the programs I use come out in 64 bit versions the
current Athlon 64 bit chips will be obsolete.

Shows how ignorant you both are. The Athlon 64 has a very productive life as
a really fast processor of regular 32 bit programs.

I investigated it's performance dip****. It offered very poor improvement if
any over my processor for my particular uses. And it would have cost me an
additional 1,000 dollars. That is money that will be spent on something that
actually will make a substantial difference for my purposes.


Upgrading for the sake of upgrading is just a waste of money.

Spoken like a person who blew his limited wad on an inferior product,
sockpuppet wheel.

Did that once on a ****ty CD player almost twenty years ago. I learned my
lesson. When will you learn yours? Obsolete sound card collection anyone?


I'd rather spend it on records.

Even better is making your own recordings from live performances, which I am
working on as I type this.


I am sure it is not better.


Why are you talking about computers on RAO after whining about me doing
it?

I wanted to see whether that Russian scientist named Pavlov was right. I
guess he was right about creatures like you, sockpuppet wheel.

Oh, trolling. I guess this is what someone who cannot excel at anything in life
does with his life.
