Will Lightroom 1.1 be.....

Oddly enough it zips along fine on my Dell Latitude with Core 2 Duo 2.16GHz and 2GB RAM. The hard drive is faster and so is the bus speed though too. Unfortuntely the screen sucks.

Then hook it up to your desktop screen, along with the keyboard and mouse and you're set.

I tried that and for some wacky reason the quality isn't being translated to the desktop screen. I got annoyed enough to give up. It's about time I upgraded my desktop anyway, so this gives me a good excuse. I'll use the new desktop as a dedicated image editing machine, keeping it away from the internet.

Not odd, actually. It's faster on my C2D laptop too. Hard drive speed is actually slower I think--5400rpm vs. 7200rpm on my desktop--so it's all about the CPU. That's why I'm eyeing the C2D E6850 (3.0GHZ dual-core) that's supposed to come out in early summer for $266. Of course I'd have to build a whole new system, but at this point I'm so ticked off at Lightroom's less-than-lightspeed performance that I'm ready to upgrade on the spot

I have a 17" 1920x1200 screen on my laptop, but the color sucks, so I connect a 1600x1200 LCD to the laptop for Lightroom viewing.

but no update
they said the finish week , but nothing again

Strange, LR is really fast on my 1.7ghz AMD with 1GB 333mhz RAM.

I do only use the PC for photography, so I formatted it, and have only the baics on there (XP, word, excel etc...) and CS2, LR and Noise Ninja.

How many images and how big is your databse? This plays a large role in speed. Mine has slowed significantly the more I use it.

Currently, relatively small. I dont add all images to LR as I dont see the point in taking up disk-space with library-data about 2 year-old images which I dont tend to need anymore.

I'm curious to see if it'll get a new life on my old [and primary] desktop machine. (2.16GHz AMD Athlon, 2GB RAM). If so, I'll be able to put off upgrading to dual cure a tad longer.

just do it hehe. dual core will feel really nice for post-processing

im running Intel C2D E4300 (1.8 Overclocked to 2.8ghz), 4GB (even though vista only sees 3.25gb but the more the better for photoshop).

Theres supposedly another price drop for Intel CPU coming late july if you want to hold off on that. quad core will be very affordable. tempting!

i think 1.1 will be out the next year

Soon doesn't usually refer to a year away Mantra.
