Well, it's been in operation for about 6 weeks now and I sure don't want to go through the program changeover thing again. I did not use the 'migrating' software package, because it does not move programs, just settings and documents. Doing such took me about two weeks and I had two computers running for a while as I slowly got it to where I wanted.

Anyway, there is a VERY noticable increase in speed and production now, attributed to all of the upgrade stats, I am sure.

Dual monitor setup allows me to place some toolbars on the second screen and so more room for the images on my main screen. I did get an inexpensive LCD monitor, and I found that it is acceptable to me when I took the brightness WAY down on it. They can overpower the images otherwise. I am going to the big Photo Expo in NYC in early November. I will certainly have a better idea of what screen I would like then.

Thanks again for the prodding...
