What I’ll do with my next bonus

by admin, May 7, 2008

Never a day goes by I don’t regret not maxing out the RAM in my computer. My AMD Sempron box uses DDR1 sticks and I’ve got 512MB x 2 which makes it 1GB. One gigabyte of RAM was enough three years ago. Then again I was only photoshopping pictures downloaded from a 4 megapixel digital camera at that time. 3 years later, these days I’m messing around with 4-6 megabytes files from a Nikon D40x and it slows my PC down to a crawl. It’s very frustrating you’re rushing to touch up a batch of photos in time for the printers. Instead of upgrading DDR1 RAM, which is so much more expensive compared DDR2 these days, I’m anxiously waiting for my bonus and get myself a Core 2 Duo PC, with 4GB computer memory and a 22″ LCD monitor *drool*. And if there’s any spare cash left, I might even be tempted by an ultra portable ASUS Eee PC so that I have a proper tool to blog with anywhere anytime I feel like it.
