Ok money no real factor (although i’m not talking about bolting together 50 processors etc! 😉 ) Whats the best Workstation available for large image processing in Photoshop CS?
I spose i was thinking something along the lines of a P4 3.02 machine with high bandwith ddr memory (4gb?), then 10k SATA hard drives – one of which being completely dedicated to a scratch disk (minimum size?). And then the question of video card….

<http://www.3dlabs.com/product/wildcatvp/vppro/index.htm> <http://www.matrox.com/mga/products/parhelia/256mb.cfm>
Which ones the best? Bearing in mind its not really for 3D graphics but for very large 2D imaging. Any other cards to be recommended?
The reason i am interested is that i’ve been asked to get together a machine capable of "mosaicing" multiple shots from a large camera rig.
So creating a tif. of approx. 7gb size…Currently we create tifs upto 2gb in size.
Any discussion is welcome – whats the best machine being used out there at the moment (Adobe devs what do you use?).

Matt
