I am currently running XP & have been since just after the kids were born I think........
It's ok for net browsing. It's ok for media playing. It's okish for CS2. It's reasonable for LR3 [until exporting, then I have to export & go have a shower/tea/etc] BUT in no way can you do more than one thing at a time so time to upgrade.
I have Novatech near to me so was going to use them to build me a new tower.
I'm guessing a budget of up to £700. Obviously the cheaper the better, but I fully understand it may be more sensible to go slightly over budget to get better components as a PC isn't something that's upgraded often.
I'm not really into PC's so was wondering if I could have something to go off with recommendations for what processor, RAM, graphics card etc etc
I shoot a 5D2/450D for referance to image file sizes. I have 2 external drives for images & 2 80Gb internals for music etc
Thanks
