I haven't read much about the dual lens flatbed scanners and their

Anyone have an opinion and/or info source?

Funny you should mention it. I am considering whether to return my scanner

It's USB 1.1. Never seen an SS120, so I have nothing to compare. I'd bet it
was at least 3.9, as the SS4000 was very conservatively rated on Dynamic
range.

Is the USB on the SS4000+ USB 2.0 or 1.1?

You need to answer a few questions, too:
1. do you intend to keep your PC state of the art, by upgrading parts of it

FWIW my experiments with the demo of this software left me *very* cold.
It seems quite effective on patterned images (eg flatbed scans from
textured paper). However, I found it to have little benefit on normal
grain - when it was adjusted up enough to be any 'better' than the usual

Jim,
Honestly I think you'll find the overall performance of a P4 system or an
Athlon system fairly comparable and the memory differences fairly small.
The more the better. An area to not forget, that has significant impact, is
disk performance.
