Hi,
I have ordered the follwing spec for running mainly Adobe Lightroom 4.2 and some photoshop CS5, with film editing a possible requirement on the horizon. I want lightroom to run really quick! It's slow as a dog on my old pc. Any thoughts on the below spec or how to set the system up would much appreciated.
Cheers
