I plan to take all of my shots to work and fire up one of our quad-processor G5 Macintoshs with 16Gb of memory. This beasty should do the trick and allow me at least to manipulate the whole thing in real memory rather than paging in and out of disk all the time. Hopefully I'll be able to create a collage with all 200+ images I took a couple of minutes apart. You need a proper imaging machine (like these Macs - or PC's with equivalent power) to do it succesfully.
Good work by the way.

LOL this was processed entirely by converting the 240 DNG files to full res Jpeg then creating the sheet in PShop CS2 all on a compaq laptop with a 14.1 screen 128meg ram video and 1 gig memory and a 40 gig HDD and a sempron 3000 processor
