So I'm no programmer. But I routinely open 6-10 GB stacks with FIJI on
my computer, so it can work. You may want to check your hard drive
speed. I had issues with that at one point a long time ago and needed
to replace a disk. Probably not your issue, but maybe.
It takes me about 5 minutes to open a stack. I'm on 64-bit linux.
ImageJ 1.48d with Java 1.6.0_24 installed. 16GB of ram, but I only
