[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 822061, member: 50197"] Just for info, I upgraded my RAM to 32 GB today. Initial tests show it helps with the slowdowns in LR. It's not instantaneous, but it is definitely much faster, and I no longer get the couple seconds of a white stripe at the top saying LR is not responding. I have a slowdown issue with Photo viewer I assumed was RAM related, that didn't change, and I tracked it down to a hard drive issue. I've been loading all my photos to an external SSD drive. For most everything it works just fine. Photo viewer chokes on reading the large TIF subfolder. This wasn't an issue until I got my new Z7ii with it's much higher resolution sensor. It brings up the photo I double click on very quickly, but I have to wait quite a while to be able to scroll to the next photo. Moving this subfolder to the internal SSD drive solved that problem. Now I have to work out a new workflow plan, but at least I know what the problem is. If I have to, I can install a larger internal SSD, and move my edited TIF files from internal SSD to backup storage periodically. I can do that now, as long as I don't fill my internal drive too quickly. FYI, my internal drive is 512 GB, and right now I've got about 200 GB total on my internal, and that includes about 40 GB of edited images from the last couple months. Looks like I could probably move them over about once a year without issue. Hope this gives you another little piece of info for your computer decision. [/QUOTE]
