Glen, saw a podcast on a small company that benchmarks and recommends hardware for speific software/tasks on computers for the best thruput for tasks like you guys mapping stuff. its all in how the processor cores, memory, video, video procossesors, memory and drives are all used, not just how the manufaturers say they work. Talked about how a simple system update can turn a multi-core monster with amiltiple video cards/GPUs into a death trap taking the same time as a single core one monitor off the shelf box with limited memory. It was as if the software couldn't actually take advantage of the updates made in hardware without losing congrol of and speed in other areas.

All the ways evrything is optimized and accellerated now made me glad I am not trying to do cutting edge photoshop or data crunching no more
