If you need to work with lots of high-resolution images—for editing, design, scientific research—you’re in luck. Turns out there’s a number of capable graphics systems that will allow you to pull together a system that’s orders of magnitude cheaper than only a few years ago.
That’s according to Jon Peddie, who heads a company under his own name that tracks these things. I’ve known Jon for years—he’s a regular at Siggraph presentations and on other occasions where it’s useful to have someone who can straddle both graphics and marketing. More info here.
