Are current CPU's (Pentium 11 or G-3) strong enough to process them in a reasonable time frame? 3. Is multi processing required? 4. What size are these images? Storage. 5. Is current graphics, 3D software inadequate? Will it have to be rewritten? Major changes. 6. Will the software interfaces have to be changed in a major way? 7.
