Dear Bene:

Excellent suggestions; I'm on the road until Monday and will test them as soon as I get back to the
lab.

Incidentally, the graphics card that had worked for me on someone else's 64-bit system had been
an NVIDIA Quadro FX 4600 with a price of about $2,000. You do very nice and heavy-duty
reconstructions, renderings, and animations for a living. What types of graphics cards do you (or
other list members) use? Are workstation cards with their optimized drivers worth the premium
over a fast gaming card for ImageJ 3D work? The only review on the subject I could find was at
tomshardware.com; the benefits seemed to vary a lot with the specific application and not linearly
related to price, clock speed, memory size, or other properties.

Thanks a lot,

Richard
