Don't you mean "it turns out to be real... expensive... to get that spec
out of it ;-)
I wasn't planning on spending the cost of the scanner a second time to
get it to run at the speced speed, by having to buy a 933MHz processor
and 512MB of PC133 memory... but I will probably go to a 6XX Mhz
Pentium III with something like 384MB memory.
