If you are doing similar work now you can run a batch with the task manager open to the performance tab, and see what the memory usage is. When Photoshop (I assume you are using Photoshop) has to start swapping to the drive, performance will tumble. As Godfrey noted, it sounds that the bottle neck would be in the I/O. If you are loading and saving a bunch of relatively small files (6-10 mp seems small to me) then you might benefit most from investing in fast drives and enough memory to cache the image while it is worked on. - MCC -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mark Cassino Photography Kalamazoo www.markcassino.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
