Thanks Simmer and Mixtec – I’l need to upgrade the memory on my PC before I do anything – it had 256MB when I got it, but with all the stuff I added it is now down to about 75MB. It has a Pentium 4 processor and Windows XP, it’s a good spec one I think.
I’d seen some video cards in our local PC World and baulked at the prices when I first saw them, but I needed to ask on the forum what was the best one, I always think if you ask in one of these chain shops you might be advised to buy something just to get the assistant some commission or something, their advice isn’t always independent.
I’m building my system bit by bit, the scanner was only added a couple of weeks back, but I’m getting there and the memory expansion and video card will be next.
