[Hidden-tech] looking for recommendations for graphics PC

[Dan Green]

I meant they use at least 4 GB RAM, not MB-that wouldn't do.

Reva,

 

Buy as much RAM as you can afford.  Most of my pro photographers recommend
at least 4MB.  I worked in the digital photography industry for a good while
and my experience is the same.  This is especially true if you're managing
files for in-house printing. Trying to rip files with minimal RAM takes a
load of time and is frustrating. 

 

Having dual hard drives, one for applications and one for image files is my
preference. There are lots of little things but I vote for RAM as the top
priority. As for a laptop if he will be uploading files to a lab or for
online storage (a good idea) then the trade off of portability over a
big-as* screen makes sense.

 

What a wonderful gift!

Dan

Hi all,

      My husband is a photographer & needs a new PC. He has a good monitor, 

which he'll be keeping. I'm used to spec-ing out business PC's, but 

don't know much about the requirements of programs like photoshop, or 

digital camera interface software. Anybody have any recommendations? 

Does a laptop make any sense? We can't get anything better than 

satellite where we live, so I was thinking that for big uploads he could 

go somewhere with reasonable internet access speeds if he had a laptop. 

This may well be a gift, so if you know him, don't mention this posting!

      TIA, Reva
