Matrox is fine.
With Windows 2000, since your file sizes are ~70MB, why not 1GB of RAM? RAM
is dirt cheap these days.

Subject: filmscanners: RE: Custom PC spec
| I've got a Celeron 466 with 128MB of RAM and recently bought a Nikon

|
| Can anyone recommend graphics cards that can be calibrated? I was thinking
