Hello everybody!
I have recently (ish) been getting more and more into photography, nothing serious, just for personal use. I have been using lightroom 3 and photshop CS5 to do all my editing. I built my own pc about 5 years ago (not 100%) with a couple of upgrades along the way.
Im happy in general with my pc until i get into editing, lag frustrates me! its not ridiculous but its annoying, i was considering upgrading my RAM to get more memory for the photo processing, i just wondered on your opinions on this? i will give my current setup below. Im looking for the best improvment on a low budget, i dont have the money to spend i did back then
if you feel my money would be better somewhere else please give me ideas
My current motherboard has 4 ram slots so i figure i could get alot of memory? i cant remember if 32bit systems are limited to 2 gig of ram processing? if they are how do i make my system 64bit? on the lightroom website they recomend 4 gig ram as a min
Motherboard - ASUS M2N32 WS PRO
Chip - AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual core 6000+
RAM - Corsair XMS2 DDR2 1024 x2 800mhz
Graphics - ATI Radeon HD 4850 512mb
HD - Western digital - WD1500adfd Raptor 150gb SATA
still running XP Prof
Thanks for your time people
