I've been nursing along an old machine for years past it's prime. It is used for internet and heavily used for digital photography editing and storage. The operating system is Windows XP pro. I don't have any idea of the processor other than it's Intel.
I've used several versions of Roxio software for dvd creation and never been satisfied with the performance of my machine doing those tasks, it's slow and lags behind.
I want advice on specs for a new machine. I'd like to continue photo editing and dvd creation with Roxio software. I want to use multiple monitors, 2 or 3. Hard drive recommendations (is speed an issue?). Processor and memory, video card. Inputs for capturing analog video for home video conversion.
I guess to boil it down, photo editing and video capture and dvd burning are a priority. I don't do those as a profession just archiving my families' items.
Can't wait to see your ideas, thanks
