TTQ B4U Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Looking into building a new PC for some Photography work. Haven't done it before, but I'm looking at something like the new i5 or i7 processor. I have other HD's and a DVD Drive I will insure will fit with what I buy, but initially scanning Tiger Direct I put this together. What are your thoughts? I work with 10-22megapixel RAW images that can be upwards of 150meg each. Anything I should consider doing differently? http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/image/129863242/original.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffro Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 I don't know that you would need Windows 7 ultimate. If you have access to a .edu email address you can get 64bit professional for $65 http://www.microsoft.com/student/en/us/software/windows/default.aspx thats where mine came from. they label is at an upgrade copy, but i burned the ISO to a disk and did a fresh install on a blank HDD. Tim, up the memory. double it. 4 gigs is weak compared to the rest of the system. i think youll run into issues rendering those huge images.
