Computer Stuff

My current system is a home built Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 3.33 GHz CPU, with 8GB Corsair PC2 6400 RAM, a Saphire Radeon HD4870 1GB video card, on a Gigabyte EP45-UD3P motherboard, in an Antec 900 case, running Window Vista Home Premium 64 bit. My monitors are a Samsung 22" LCD and an HP 20" wide screen LCD. Images are stored on duel internal Western Digital 1TB serial ATA 7200 RPM 16MB cache hard drives with a back up copy on a external Lacie 250 GB Firewire hard drive, and on CD/DVD for archival purposes. I use Adobe Photoshop CS4 for image editing and ACDSee 2009 as an image database, and BreezeBrowser and Photoshop CS4 for RAW conversion. Dreamweaver CS4 is used for web site creation, and an Acer ScanWit film scanner, Model 2740S, for scanning slides.

I use a Sony Vaio laptop, model number PCG-GRT170, at home and while on the road. It's a 2.8GHz Pentium 4 with 512 MB RAM, running Windows XP Home. It has a 16.1" SXGA+ TFT screen, 60 GB hard drive, DVD+- RW, and 802.11b wireless network card.
