Memory and other upgrades for photo editing

After unchecking the 19 processes I mentioned I went back to msconfig and unchecked a further half-dozen or so. In addition I also unchecked some services although I tried to be careful to make sure I did not lose any basic functionality. My memory usage is now down to about 1.2 GB after booting so I have gained about 2 GB in memory.

After doing this I went back to LR and used it to call the OnOne software. That software, especially when doing multiple types of adjustments in the same session (masking, applying visual presets and resizing) was the sequence that drove my machine to its knees before. This time, although memory usage got pretty high (about 6 GB) everything worked as it was supposed to work and I was able to complete functional sequences that I had to do in several sessions before.
