Adobe is strongly endorsing 64-bit computing as the way to go in their statements and product line, and you need 64 bit to use > 4 Gb RAM. I have 4Gb RAM with a quad-core CPU and LR2 just sputters along on my 5D files. Plus, the features of CS4 pretty much require 256Mb video RAM to work best, So I think 8 Gb RAM, 64 bit OS, 256Mb video will be the baseline setup pretty soon. sskoutas wrote:
a serious question for anyone thinking about getting a 5DII or currently shooting with a DsIII... what kind of computing power do you need to effectively use a Lightroom/Photoshop workflow and still be able to manipulate the images from a full day\'s worth of shooting 21.1MP images?
My system bogs down with my 20D images. What are you guys using to support these cameras from a CPU/RAM standpoint?
