pc specs for photo editing in photoshop
hello,
i have a customer that wants to use photoshop for editing his pictures, taken with a NIKON
the pictures are 24 Mb size each.
up to now he was doing this on an XP pc with 2 GB ram, and complains that it is getting slow.
so what system specs does he need minimum, in order to have a fast pc for this application?
and what system can you recommend, above the minimum - having a good performance / price ratio?
budget is around 1000 euro's
he will use an SSD for the OS and a 2-4 TB drive for storage

Add more memory.. if it is 2GB, max it out to 4GB.
Alternately you can clone the OS Partition to a SSD and use a 7200RPM SATA drive as storage.. That would speed things way up, and likely cost you no more than a 175.00 euro.
Clonezilla to clone the OS to SSD
takes about 20min
Add 2 additional GB of memory takes about 5-15min
The issue you have with upgrading at this point..
You will likely be forced to Windows 8.1 (Which sucks)
You will need to buy a new copy of Photoshop that supports 8.1 (Expensive, 286.00 yearly)
Honestly,
If he is interested in Photo things, get a MAC.
