New Computer Needed Soon


It has been a while since I've gotten another computer, but with the addition of Adobe Photoshop CS5 and Adobe Lightroom 3.0, it may be time to do it soon.

I contacted Dell computers and they recommended I consider a Dell Studio XPS 9000 computer since it has a quad-core Intel processor in it which can be pumped up with lots of RAM. I'm not sure if this is the way to go, but it is a start for research purposes.

Many people wonder why I do not have an Apple MacIntosh computer instead of a PC. Well, considering how much software I would need to get for the Apple as well as the cost of the computer, I will need to stick with the PC. It functions just as well for me when working with Photoshop or Lightroom, but I feel it is more prone to attacks from viruses. It is just a fact of life if you are a PC owner.

So another computer is most likely my next big purchase. But it is necessary to do the work that I do all day long as my business grows for post production work with photographic images.
