I'm finally getting round to upgrading my machine, and have decided wholesale replacement is the best bet. Don't get me wrong, whilst having been slow it never lets me down and will always plod through the job in hand. Sometimes in Photoshop I've thrown 20+ shot panoramas at it and each of those shots is 15MP!
Old Spec:
Pentium 4 3.2GHz
1Gb RAM
GeForce FX5200 (this was the weakest link, goodbye!)
200Gb HDD
Basic everything else
New machine:
Intel Core2 Duo 3GHz, 6Mb FSB
4Gb DDR3 RAM
Ati 4670 HDTI 512Mb
500Gb Sata 2 HDD
22" LCD max res. 1680x1050
And all of this, including the monitor has cost me £740. The monitor was ex-demo from Tesco, the base unit was bought as one from PC Option who seem very good value and also have a great warranty.
Should this new rig be able to play well in TRS2009 do you think??
