[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I'm using a homebrew system: Celeron 333 overclocked to 502 mHz, 128mb RAM, 4.5 gig. hard-drive, dual monitors (use a 17" Trinitron w/ Matrox Millennium PCI card for image editing). I place all the pallets, etc. on a 17" Viewsonic. I'd like another 128mb RAM and a few more gig. I constantly move finished images onto a CD to clear up space for editing, otherwise PS5 let's me know that it's unhappy.
