This old computer
When it comes to computers, I am a cross between Tim Allen and Bob Villa.. Anyway what I am getting at.. is a slow loaded up computer cost you money... it cost you very valuable time.. I was doing some batch images for someone, and there was about 2000 images, This machine did them in about 2 hours, that cut the images in size and res, and put them into sub folders of 30. Some of these images was completly raw, we are talking about 2.5 megs each.. They was pretty amazed that this could be done that fast.. The reason is I keep my machines up to date. This one would be classed as slow by alot of peoples standards, its only and amd xp 1800 with 256 megs of ram, the drives are 7200 rpm.. the reason that this machine is quicker than most in its class, is its not running windows xp, windows xp sucks as a work operating system. Now I thought ok its summer time to upgrade, so I trip on over to pricewatch, and for about 350 bucks I can have a 3200 system pretty easy.. mother board and chip, 256 megs of memory, and I am cooking with gas.. So what I am trying to tell you, is its always best to have a work system, and a play system.. One with all the bells and wistles and one that is for work and if you set it up right, you can use one monitor one mouse and one keyboard.. so why one system is working its little ass off, you can be checking the boards, or learning new things.
