I was using my LS-8000, until just a few weeks ago, on a 700 MHz AMD pc, with 512 Megs of RAM. Probably about $500 worth, not including the monitor. Upgrading to a 1600 MHz AMD mobo, I haven't seen any radical improvements in scanning speeds, though certain operations in the driver are quicker. rafe b. - Turn off HTML mail features.
