@morganb4: What was it that you changed in your BIOS? Memory timings?
No my timings are the standard XMP1 profile to kick them to 2133MHz - usually provides a minor boost but the thing in BIOS that I changed was something called memory performance I think, it had options of standard turbo and extreme. It actually affects the memory controller but not the RAM.
Just a followup to my post. Upgraded my pc and now lr3 is unbelievably fast. Guess I really needed to get a newer pc. Wowzers the difference is amazing!

Most of us here don't have perfromance issues with LR3. LR4 is much worse.
external drive is only good if you have a thunderbolt or ESATA connection, and even then you will never be faster than an ESATA 6gb/s connection directly into the MOBO, unless you have a raid array in thunderbolt, which is pretty costly. USB 3 is fast, but never reaches advertised speeds and bottlenecks pretty quickly.
Multiple SSD's for the cache, catalog and OS/Programs are a better route, with your files on some sort of raid array with spinning disks. I personally have a raid 5 array of 8 2tb HDD's for my working/files drive that are connected to an Areca raid card which gives me 850 MBS read and 700 MBS write and is blazing fast, much faster than you'd ever need for LR to utilize Always, and I mean always have backups of your working files - raid is not a backup solution, unless you are talking enterprise level, which we are not....Show more →
Bingo !!! Multiple SSD drives is the way to go for heavy editing.
