hi guys
i have a dell laptop that i use at the moment, i want something that is not going to need upgrading for a few years, as i have started to use RAW files now, and will probably copy them as tiff (which is bigger, i think) and then probably need a copy in Jpg also, you can use a lot of memory like that, and i dont want the computer to slow to a crawl within a year.
i have toyed with the Dell 'build it ' and i got it to 799, but thats with a 17" TFT screen,and only 250gb HD.
i dont only use the computer for emails and internet so i really need speed and performance.
