I have recently started using Photoshop CC and find that my PC is not up to the job of processing the large files involved. I'm looking at ways to improve things without having to invest in a new PC.
Current set up is:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5200+ 2.7GHz
NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT
32 bit Windows 7
4GB RAM
My system could be changed to 64bit, and I have contemplated doing a Dual Boot installation on a Partition to achieve that, and imagine that it would then be worth increasing the RAM. I find the prospect daunting, but i could give it a go.
I also wonder if I should be looking for a newer Graphics Card, but I don't want to set off doing all these things if, in the end, I am not likely so see much improvement.
I'd be very interested in your opinions. Please don't get too technical, as I am a normal human being.
Thanks.
