puntoMX Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Hi there,What size of graphics are you talking about? I do some 1 by 2.2 meter 300dpi printout designs with a few layers myself, that hog up more than 2GB, so how about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmX.Memnoch Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 RAM, RAM and more RAM, a couple of fast drives RAID0'd for the scratch disk, and a 64-bit OS. CS4 is finally supposed to get native x64 binaries (under Windows only, Mac users will have to wait until CS5).http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2008/04/photoshop_lr_64.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelsenellenelvian Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 The modern harddrive is the main bottleneck of todays computers. They are SLOW compared to all the rest of the hardware. I would go for a couple of 300 gig raptors (10,000 rpm) in raid. The speed increase will be enormous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viscon Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 agree that you need as much RAM as your mobo and OS can handle.and make sure it's dual channel.also dual or quad core CPU helps a lot while working with big files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmX.Memnoch Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 What's your overall budget for this build? If you really want the ultimate setup then start looking at SAS drives instead of SATA. Those can be purchased at up to 15,000 RPM. You'll pay a price premium for it though (and you'll have to get a SAS controller as well), but that's the only way you're going to get the absolute best configuration.
