Hi All,

Please can you send me advice on what desktop PC will operate with Literoom Classic. My NUC computer has started to grind to a halt and it took 3 days to download 2000 pictures from my Canon R5.

A suggested build would be great

Taking 3 days to Import (not download) 2,000 pictures could be something that is easily fixed, perhaps it is a bad card reader or a bad camera card or bad USB port. I would look into that before you choose to buy a new computer.

 

If you want a new computer: the main things you want to look for are a relatively powerful CPU, a relatively powerful GPU (Nvidia 30XX 40XX 50XX). So get the best hardware you can afford. Also 16GB of RAM or more, and enough disk storage space (can include storage of photos on external disks).
