    Well, I don't know if there is a relationship to the forum membership. I haven't watched super bowls since the 1980s.

    Windows 8

    Yeah, reading all this Windows 8 stuff makes me cringe. I'm sure every new MS cluster**** is fascinating to people in IT, but I just started on Win 7 in October 2012. It will probably last the rest of my days.

    AVX- holy cow!

    I think a full upgrade every three years or 2x performance increase is about right. It helps to start with the fastest CPU of the time.

    AVX- holy cow!

    I have the i7-980X (6 cores), so maybe not. I need a substantial increase in the real-world performance to upgrade, and that is often less than linear with benchmarks. I guess we have to wait a while for the next gen of 6-8 core CPUs.

    AVX- holy cow!

    I'm not sure what AVX is or whether my CPU has that option, but my 2 1/2-year-old computer produces 90 GFlops avg. I wonder what a current CPU can do. Perhaps Dave is at 200 already.

    Well I can see that it is officially the Thunderbolt, but I prefer something else. I don't understand how you get ethernet from that.

    I thought it was Thunderbowl. Thunderbolt makes little sense and implies a dangerous high voltage discharge or maybe an old firearm. IS there a formal alphanumeric identifier that could be used instead?

    It sounds like a good time to rebuilt that desktop system. ;) Is the CPU an early i7 or something of the old C2D/C2Q variety?

    Photo editing software for Windows 7?

    It's more pointlessly complicated and buggy, and they ruined the crop tool. :mad: It reminds me of Office in that it keeps getting worse. :(

    Photo editing software for Windows 7?

    CS6 works of course, as Win 7 was the current OS at time of release. There might be some memory limitations with CS3. I prefer CS5 over CS6. Are you using PS for RAW conversion?

    Yeah. Dim bulb Santilli is not saving all that power from lighting. Before the Androidic mangling of my post above, I was asking if the home was all electric. If there is less dishwashing, is there also less cooking? Are there different people living in the house and do they have different...

    The retail disc PS CS2 version I have works in 7, though there are a few limitations. Why would the Ret version not work?

    Photo editing software for Windows 7?

    It is free so that legit CS2 owners have access since they are retiring the activation. However, there is nothing stopping anyone from using it as far as I can see.
