Hi - I just upgraded the boat anchor I've been using as a computer for the past couple of years. I will be installing LR on this new computer. Anyone have any tips? It's been a couple of years since the last time I installed it. More than likely, unless I get a carrier for my old hard drive, LR, the photos, and the catalog will be all on the same drive. I mention this because I've seen something about having the photos on one drive, and using "Smart Previews" to edit.
The new computer has an Intel i7 processor (3.4 GHz speed I believe), and purchased primarily because of the awful performance I was getting with the old system. Because of this, I don't want to make any non-optimal choices during installation that I will later regret. I also have to say I'm not well versed in the deep-rooted nuances of computers, and get a bit nervous about major changes like this. All I know is I went for the fastest processor, and as much RAM as I could afford, so my photo developing time would not suffer any longer from the dreaded "An Unknown Error Has Occurred" message, and not being able to process a bunch of photos at one time.
Thanks - Dave
