The machine I have requires special 128 MB DIMM modules or something. Last time
I bought a pair, it cost me around $500, although that was a couple of years

configurable RAM of 512 MB.

Because I have to adjust the scans after making them, and I need Photoshop to do
that, plus a good monitor to be able to see the results.

I understand the dynamic range is quite limited, though.
