Processing images....... What's your pc spec?

[Matt]

I have a MacBook 1.8Ghz + 1gb RAM. PS is slow due to Adobe not releasing the Intel compatible version Aperture is ok, though i could do with more RAM really.

 

[FreeStream]

867mhz Dual PMG4.

Has never crashed while working on it, thats why I don't use anything newer.

But it is getting abit slow now, one day ill have a Quad G5, muhahaha.

There is some serious kit on here. I want to go down the Conroe Route but my question is can WinXP home handle more than 2Gig of RAM?

Personally i'm waiting for the 8core Mac Pro's

A 900MHZ APPLE MAC G3! Running Photoshop CS. Slow, but does its job. Should be getting a Macbook soon, when I go to Canada in December, so much cheaper over there (using the exchange rate that is).

I have a Pentium D 930 Overclocked to 4ghz from 3ghz
1GB Dual Channel Corsair XMS2 4-4-4-12 DDR2 RAM Overclocked to 800mhz from 667mhz
300GB Maxtor SATA II NCQ
500GB Hitachi SATA II NCQ
160GB PATA
250GB USB2

16MEG ADSL2+ Connection, although I sometimes tweak my SNR margin so that I can squeeze 18MEG out of my line

You can never have too much storage!

It's very fast for processing images.

I'm hopefully getting the Canon 400D DSLR next month, but I'm pretty sure my pc can more than handle RAW files from the DSLR, what do you guys reckon?

When QUAD cores come out and become cheaper, I'll probably upgrade then.

Does the job more than adequately:

-AMD Opteron 144 Sandiego core @ 1.8ghz
-Epox 9NPA+ Mobo
-1gb Geil Value RAM
-160gb Western Digital Caviar 8mb cache SATA
-Uber old Hitachi 8gb ATA
-ATI X800 GTO2

Haven't done this much spec willy-waving since my short lived o/cing days....

 

[nomore]

PowerMac dual 2GHz G5, 2GB RAM, 870GB HDD space, 20" Cinema Display (Photoshop flies on this computer)

MacBook Pro 2.16GHz, 2GB RAM, 120GB HDD space, 17" Display

 

[divine`]

3500+, 1GB RAM, 160GB Maxtor HDD.


Does me ok, RAWShooter could be faster, I think 2GB of RAM would help that immensely.

I feel like I am living in the stone ages with my piddly little G3 . Can we close this thread?

 

[themask70]

Im surviving on a pentium 4 2.53Ghz, 512mb RAM and a 60gb HD. PhotoShop actualy copes quite well on my desktop, soon to be upgraded. My Mac (refer to sig) runs photoshop quite nicely, i can have photoshop and iTunes open and still process RAW images.

 

[woodsy2k]

My current pc is the rig i used for photo editing.

Athlon 64 3700 @2.4GHz
1GB Corsair XMS 3200XL
Two Seagate SATA 200GB disks in raid 0

Those are the main components that will affect performance really. It runs fine really, apart from when running noise reduction software, but that takes a long time anyway, so its not a problem really.

Oh yes, this is to edit images taken from my D50 on raw and Jpeg files.

in sig with a Hyundai Q17+ monitor.
i use photoshop elements 4, runs it flawlessly

 

[reddeathdrinker]

At home, an E6600 Conroe on an Asus PW5 DH Deluxe, with 2GB of PC6400, a 7900GT and a 19" Widescreen TFT.

On the go, a Dell X300 (1.2GHz Pentium M, 648MB-ish of DDR), which copes surprisingly well with Photoshop CS2......
