Hi Keith,

I use from G3s and up and I can tell you  thaat any of these computers
with a minimum (for the size of the files you mention) of 512 MB ram
will do the job trouble free. 
In my experience, IJC/OPM works far better under OS X, which then runs
it under classic. This way, the possibility of having the Finder and 
GUI acting like they took  'ludes will hardly be a problem. And also,
doing it this way will allow you (if you have enough ram, that is...)
to keep working on other stuff at the same time!!!

Of course, the more ram, the better (this applies to any platform) and
as to the hard disk space... well, if your files are 500 to 600 Mbs, 
I want to think you have a pretty large disk, and if you don't, you
should, this wether you own a Mac, a PC w/windoze or whichever...

I personally leave a G3 for printing and haven't had any problems
what-so-ever. Works just beautifully!!!

Enjoy your MAC... you'll find the great beneffits of it for HIGH END
GRAPHICS (that's what fine art black & white printing is all about,
isn't it?)
