Jim,
I bought my memory at Fry's too. A little more money, as I used RIMMS, but
still a great deal. In my case, the E20 images are trivial in size, as most
of my image editing is done with the images from my Nikon LS-4000 film
scanner. In 8-bit mode they are 60MB. In 16-bit mode they are 120MB.
I have 1GB of memory on my machine I use for Photoshop. Sometimes even that
isn't enough.
I clearly agree there is no single better investment then memory. Disk
speed is second. CPU is actually third.
