Hi All,
I recently acquired a Nikon Coolscan 5000 ED. I have been running it off an emulated version of 10.4 tiger on my M1 MBP with the OEM installed. It's somewhat of a pain in the ass to do since it seems like I have to watch the software run otherwise it crashes. I would like to setup the G5 2ghz dual core I have lying around as a dedicated scanning rig. Currently it has the default Nvidia 6600, like 2gb of ram, and no hard drive in it. I plan on beefing it up but I wasn't sure how much is too much for that machine. I may slap photoshop on there as well but I plan on doing most of my edits on my MBP. If anyone has gone down this rabbit hole before or has any advice please let me know your thoughts.
