So in the end, after doing some research based on input from the PDML, I bought a motherboard/CPU package and a new graphics board. I spent several hours today installing the new motherboard (the cooling system I got for the new CPU, although far from the most extensive available, is freakin' HUGE!) and graphics card. Here's the most amazing thing: Windows 10 just booted right up. Yup. Recognized the new hardware and installed drivers almost instantly. You could have knocked me over with a feather! It's still early days but I can already tell this is MUCH faster. Some deconvolution sharpening actions on K-1 files that used to take minutes now take seconds. Big fun.
Since it's been a loong time since I've refreshed this system (and I've done too much tinkering in the interim) I'll do an OS refresh and reinstall apps when I have more free time, just to be safe. But for now I'm really happy. -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
