Default Suggestions for new computer!
Hey,

I am looking to upgrade my P3 4ghz machine and wanted to get some suggestions. I am currently running a Matrox 550 video card to support my two moniters.

I don't do any gaming but I do use PS all the time. I process about 3500 RAW images a week using Canon DPP and PS. I run several actions on my system to process the RAWs to Tiffs and then to JPGs. I then crop the images and process the JPGs with another action.

In addition to these I process hundreds of images for the lab every week.

I want to upgrade the machine and I am not familiar with the new chips and video cards. I will put XP pro not Vista on the computer at this time. I will put at least 3 250 gig hard drives along with a DVD drive.

I will buy the parts and put the machine together rather than by a canned machine.

Thanks for any suggestions!
