[Leica] Not yet upgrading to LR4

[douglas.sharp at gmx.de (Douglas Sharp)]

Hi Mark,

thanks for the advice - I'm currently looking at Lenovo 
Workstations with lots of number-crunching abilities 
that can speed up my translation databases and not slow 
down to a crawl when using Photoshop CS (I'm currently 
working with 250 MB files of scanned mining maps and it 
is S l o w! - only 2.4GBs of RAM).

Anyone heard anything particularly good or bad about 
Lenovo?

Cheers
Douglas
