RE: What is the best PC to run Nikon 4000 Scanner?

["Paul D. DeRocco" <pderocco@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The computer you've described is very nice, but you'd probably be satisfied
with less. The Athlons are more cost effective. If you don't mind spending
the cost of what you described, then enjoy yourself. The only things worth
debating are the monitor, the printer, and the scanner.
