This was my position until a few weeks ago. An aging windows machine from 2003-ish. I also needed to look at 12Mpx RAW images which took my machine minutes to convert to TIFF even with minor edits. Managing and being patient I finally broke!
Take a look at Apple Mac's which are all exceptionally quick. I have a Mac Pro with Quad Xeon cores which converts the same RAW files in less than 10s and also a Macbook with dual core CPU which is not too far behind the Mac pro in speed. Mac OS X is fairly easy to learn after Windows then there is no looking back!
Want speed and no fuss - buy a Mac!
