Software to view extremely large jpg?

I'm trying to view the hi-res version of this photo

http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/ne...01/image/a+warn

But my machine doesn't have enough grunt I don't think.

Has anyone got it to work with faststone image viewer or irfanview?

I can view the 6000 x 6000 one ok just not the 18,000 x 18,000 one.

There are two "massive files" one a TIF at 49 Megabytes and another
TIFF at 385 Megabytes. Which one are you having problems with? I
don't wnat to mess with the 385-er unless that's where your problems
lie. I'm d/l the 49-er right now. I use ACDsee (an earlier version -
2.3 I think) but I have fastone on my 'puter, too. I'm at 35% loaded
right now.

My machine is PC w/ Pentium IV I think withe a 1.2GHz clock and 512
Meg RAM. What do you have? What's under the hood of your computer?

I got the 49-meg loaded into my Slimbrowser and it loads into my
ACDSee version 2.4. Awsome picture. I can even zoom in 300% without
"staircase-ing."

Faststone is running slow... oops there it is in the preview window...
It comes right up... Actual size... works fast. Zooms at 300% like
ACDSee does... Zoom to 500% causes it to get checkered.

No problem dude. Shall I got for the full monte?

Now to try fastone...

What resolution can your monitor display? If it is less than 6000 x
6000 then you are wasting your time.

=============

You probably have been told, or found by now, that many viewing
progams (ACDSEE, Better JPEG, XNVIEW, SLOWVIEW, IrfanView .. etc)
ALL of them have the option of auto-reducing any picture to
fit the confines of your screen. It may only appear to be less
than highly-detailed because of such squishing down for viewing,
but you can always expand it to FULL strength for pan-around viewing.

I downloaded the 350-Meg file. Flashstone choked on it. ACDSee 2.4
took it OK. It seems you can zoom right out to the surface of a star!
Of course we know better.

Hmmn, seems like my swap file isn't big enough on the C drive even
though it is unlimited on my D drive So looks like I need a bigger
swap file on C drive which I don't have unless I do a rebuild or maybe
try to use some partition manager to resize it.

I have a Athlon XP 1800 with a 1Gb RAM.

Use the zoom and you're in for a treat.

That is 1 monster picture. It took Faststone nearly 15 sec to load. Once
loaded, the pan and zoom keys worked fine on my 1280x1024 monitor.

So what loaded and worked smoother, Faststone or IrfanView?

My computer doesn't have enough grunt to test it out
