Hi all,
I'm looking into getting a new workstation for my photo processing. My current setup just isn't up to the task (Dual core 1.8Ghz laptop 4GB RAM).
Saw a HP xw93'' (2 x 2.6ghz dual core CPUs, 16gb ram, Nvidia Quadro FX-45'' 512MB, 2x Hp 146GB 15K NHP SCSI Hard Drives) second hand for AUD$995.
I generally work on 36'dpi A4 & A3 size prints. Sometimes larger stuff for canvas etc. A little HDR and panoramic stuff not a great deal though.
I would rather not spend $2K plus on a new system if possible. Could build a system myself if it's worth it price wise.
I'm guessing the HP workstation is probably up to the task. The main thing slowing me down at the moment is the lack of RAM, this disk swapping just slows everything down to a crawl. It's getting really frustrating.
Anybody have any suggestions?
