Re: the difference in the other applications I'm running when I'm scanning something.... You're seeing the results of the system trying to switch back and forth between two processes. The bottleneck is probably disk i/o and PCI bus contention as both the data sent from the scanner and your program try to write and read the disk (by far the most likely) or it could be due to task switching - probably not the problem, but if it is you need lower latency memory like PC133/VC not rambus. Most likely you would benefit most from more memory to allow a larger disk cache. Since PC133/VC is cheaper, and your most likely change to improve performance is simply more memory, the less expensive, higher density PC133/VC is the better choice. Dan
