A question regarding computer capability with PWP -

In the 3-zone contrast transformation, for instance, there can be a good amount of going back and forth among the values for contrast, brightness and saturation for each of 3 zones. And, for each of these, the computer will generally want to ruminate a bit before showing a result. If one were to switch from a dual core 1.6mhz computer with 3.5GB of RAM to (possibly) a 2.8ghz quad core computer with (perhaps) a 6GB of RAM, would such a change speed up processing (enough) to make a switch worthwhile?

At this time we are not taking advantage of multi cores in most transformations, so speed up would be due to faster clock rate only. However, multi-cores will speed up operations which involve foreground and background workflow operations simultaneously.

Additional memory will not make any difference either until there is a 64-bit version of PWP released. You would also need a 64-bit Version of Windows to take advantage of more memory than 4Gb.
