Just thought I'd pick some brains
I've got a i5 3.1ghz (sandybridge), 8gb ram, SSD (for OS & programs) and regular HDD (for image files etc)
But when previewing files in lightroom 5.3 (during import) the D800 files grind my PC to a halt - it's basically becomes unworkable to manually preview and pick my files to import. Instead my workaround is to just import my entire memory card onto the (regular) HDD and when go over the images marking which ones to keep and deleting the rest (lightroom works fine previewing images from HDD).
Has anyone else come across this problem? and is there any other workarounds? I assume it's a RAM issue but my motherboard only allows up to 8gb? or is it the card reader that's the bottleneck?
