What kind of upgrade do you plan on doing?
and then what?? All he needs is a good digital photo-lab not a heavy-duty-multitask-workstation. I'm a big time Mac user/fan and i don't think telling someone they should get a new computer they have no purpose for is nice.

I am getting different feedback on the ram. Some people are telling me that XP Pro will not utilize 4 gigs of ram. Others are saying to stay away from Vista and with the new chips the ram is utilized with XP. I have always pushed the ram to the max. The system I have now, P4 3ghz with 2 gigs of ram has been a great system. Problem is it is now 5 years old. I haven't kept track on what is going on with the new chips and boards so I thought I would ask the Camel.
I use this machine for everything but the amount of images I process is dragging it down. I want to use the old machine as a storage and backup for the new machine. I
want something that will cut the processing time down and allow me to do other work while I am processing images.
Thanks,
