I recently purchased a Nikon D800 and the 36.3 MP creates HUGE files. There's no question that my 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB RAM MacBook cannot handle these files while having both Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4 open.
For those of you that own the current model of the iMac (21.5" monitor, 2.7 GHz with 8GB RAM specifically), would I be able to run all of the above without significant slow-downs and image loading times? I'm no expert on computers so I can't judge if it'll be enough. Do any of you have experience with the above setup or something similar? (And adding additional RAM to this 21.5" model is nearly impossible, so I won't attempt that.)
I'm trying not to bankrupt myself, so I'm avoiding the 27" iMac that has accessible exterior RAM slots for upgrades.
Thanks in advance for the input.
