Digital BW, The Print

The only thing they say is the computer had 512 MB of RAM. Not very helpful.

My Win 2000 PC has 384 MB RAM and I don't get times anywhere near 2 hours 
on my Polaroid SprintScan 120. Now, I haven't tried a 48 bit color neg scan 
at 4000 dpi (only 24 bit at 2400, and 6 x 4.5, to boot), but I can't see 
the scans being in the 2 hour range. But the SS 120 doesn't have ICE-like 
technology, either.

They do say that using ICE, ROC, and GEM will increase time 
"significantly." Wish they were more thorough in their test (like, how 
about scan times with this stuff off, if indeed it is what produced the 2+ 
hour scan). The review is only one page.
