Frequently Asked ?'s for the Bio-Ray DuraSoft SDX
14. How much GB on my hard drive will be used up if I take a lot of
x-rays? I am afraid it will slow down my computer drastically. The
average clinic will use up to half to one GB on their hard drive per year

are investing the money for a digital imaging system please get a
quality computer to go with it. (Recommended is an Intel ICore 3 or
higher CPU processor).
