-Having lots of RAM speeds the analysis; ideally the entire dataset can be held in active memory.  Ideally get a computer with CUDA-capable graphics card because some of the data analysis software can take advantage of it to speed the computation (OpenCL is a competing framework for GPU computation).  This is a nascent area and depends on software support; many software developments data analysis are forthcoming so it's hard to say exactly what will be the best hardware in the long run.+Some users do image analysis and processing on a separate workstation, others use the acquisition computer when it's not being used for acquisition.

 +Micro-Manager 2.0 has a helpful ability to reslice data into the "lab frame" which is helpful especially for stage scanning data.  The GPU version of the algorithm can operate on datasets up to 1/4 of the GPU memory, e.g. 2 GB datasets can be processed on a GPU with 8 GB of working memory.
