good , I like honest opinion even-though reality is cruel.
thx acc
ok, changing plan. For photo editing(my main usage), opening/editing a lot of RAW files at the same time, which system would you get? A pc or a mackintosh?
I found my Intel 3GHz (2GB ram) is slightly faster than the Amd 3500 (1.5GB ram) photo editing-wise, but the amd3500 is faster than my intel 3GHz in online gaming wise. However, I don't play online games anymore.
I don't know how to say; when I process JPG photos, they are like lightning response. No matter open, edit, save/close.
The problem is when I open RAW photo files, takes average 5 seconds to 100% open a photo, color editing takes 2 seconds, exposure editing takes 4 seconds, noise editing takes 16 seconds, saving jpg takes <2 seconds, but saving the RAW takes 10 seconds.
sometimes I really curious if mackintosh can perform all these RAW tasks within a second.
for the photo uploading part, I really don't mind because I just connect the camera to the pc & go to the kitchen to find something to eat while uploading.
But photo editing is my main concern, it's because I usually sit in front of the LCD & wait. tbh, I don't want to gamble a few hundred$ to buy an i3 system that is just a hair faster than my p4 3GHz. Unless the pc users here guarantee that the i3 can perform all the photo editing with less than a second.
and earlier there was a thread said that the new pc system plays HD movie very smooth. But this will not trigger me to buy another new system because I don't like to watch movies in the small screen. actually weeks later I will start another thread to ask people how to watch HK TV in the 40"+ plasma/LED/LCD with the minium cost
regarding hard drive speed, are the (SSD? or RAID-0 or RAID-1) noticeably alot faster?
I bought some ata100,ata133 hd transfer kit before, it's just a hair faster than the ide.
And I bought a sata before, it's just a little faster than the former. eventhough the 5400rpm ones are slow, they are pretty quite & reliable. The 7200rpm was a little faster, but it's pretty noisy as well. And I bought the raptor 10000rpm before, it didn't last very long and I throw it into the garbage can.
I use image data to do raw files editing. It's way more complicated than editing JPG files. I don't have LR, is it fast for editing RAW files? I want something to be able to perform the RAW files editing tasks within a second. And that something can be a better software or a custom photo-editing built hardware.
