I am considering buying a new computer. In the past, I have only owned PCs and my primary use was word processing and surfing the internet. Now I have a Nikon 2000 scanner and epson 1270 printer and am having trouble saving large files to a CD writer. In fact, my current set up (Gateway Profile, 64 ram, about 400mhz Pentium) locks up when I try to save large files to disk. Scanning negs and slides and creating and manipulating my own web page (along with word processing) are my new criteria for a computer. Does anyone have an opinion based on experience if a PC or Mac is better suited to these needs? Are there advantages that the Mac has over PCs? And finally, would a simple upgrade to 128 ram do the trick? Thank you for your time, Craig
