I use a 50 megs CR2 Raw files to edit on Lightroom. 100 megs TIFF 16 bit. Layering, liquify, clone, stamp, graduated filters, mask. I currently have a i5 720, gigabyte mother board, 6 gigs of OCZ, ati 5750, 550W PSU, win 7 64 bit, 1tb HD and its not fast enough. I have a 30" apple cinema display. Meaning its not slow, but I want speed. I noticed that the processor is not thinking all the time, so maybe fast memory and fast hard drive would make a difference, or maybe not. I know enough to build a computer but not too much to tell what I need.
