Its about time you upgrade that computer. I have several computer, but even my Atom 450 Netbook is working fine for RAW workflow. I must say though I use Linux ( KDE environment ) with a 2GB memory on that one. Raw Therapee, Darktable, UFRAW, DigiKam all work fine there. Last my work done is using the Canon 60D and so far its doing decent.
That government's 6K sound the right time for your need
Yes! Windows 7 is a piece of crap.
And I am happy that iOS and Android platformer sooner or later got an non-MS office like stuff out I can say goodbye to Bill Gates.
It is not about $, it is about space. I had 1 desktop, two laptops and one netbook. SO it maybe wise to make one Linux enviromnet solely as photo processing platform. In HK space is pretty limited.
And MOST IMPORTANTLY when you travel to 東莞 and see those kids earn RMB$30 to 40 a day just to get those parts out from OLD IT gadgets........and you saw their skin was poison by heavy metal etc. Then I tell myself I would rather use a gadget till it DIES! Not to radically upgrade. My E-1 been with me for almost a decade..........and it is still SOLID GREAT!
So are my Contax 167MT back 1999!!!
I hate the model way of IT rush!
Just remember the time when SPACE and Hardware is LIMITED.
You have to SAVE STEPS to write the program and create SMART LOOPS etc.
世嘉超音老鼠was just 4MBytes!!!
Now I am like a MOSTER to talk about these to the 80s and 90s after.
People just think they have no responsibilities to the Environment.
And worst is BIG COMPANYIES just keep this Profit LOOP going ON AND ON. And setting trends and fashion for gadgets.
I cannot tell how many years I didn't buy a Fixed line phone? It can be over 20 yrs. So why we have to change mobile phones so frequently?
