I have previously posted some questions regarding to speed, but I need some more in depth answers. Heres the thing.
I now know that LR does not use the Graphics Accelerator Card that much, but CS3 does. When having both open, will the extra Graphic Memory say from 128mb - 256mb or even 512mb make a major difference in performance?
Also where would be the best place to keep my catalog and where is the best spot to keep the files I work with. I have a 3rd generation MBP 2.16ghzC2D with 2GB of ram and I have a Lacie FireWire 8'' 25'gb external drive. Would it be better to keep my files on the Lacie and the catalog on the main drive ?
Also would an upgrade from 2gb - 3gb ram make a major difference?
And lastly, I'm buying a second Macbook for my assistent and I'm between a normal Macbook running at 2.4ghz with 4gb of Ram or the MBPro 2.4ghz with 4gb of ram and the 256mb graphic card. If the Graphics card is not going to speed things up why would I buy the MBPro? The only reason I can see is the Firewire 8''. Anything else anyone knows about? This specifically relates to using CS3 and LR together.
Any insight would be highly appreciated.
