[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1643431, member: 56379"] You should have mentioned this earlier!:) There's nothing more definitive for this sort of situation/question…than having a 2nd more powerful computer (doing the same exact computing tasks)…and it being much faster.:) This would clearly point to the older iMac as being lacking in the horsepower department (compared to the newer 27" iMac). Since this uploading at an event is so slow…could it be possible that the internet speed at the event is MUCH slower than what you have at home? If so…then no computer (regardless of it's horsepower) is going to be able to over come this hurdle (slow event internet). As I'm sure you know…that well-speced 27" iMac with 32gig of ram has a lot more going for it than the 2010 iMac. - more CPU & GPU horsepower - more ram - maybe faster ports I'm betting that more ram in the 2010 iMac would help…but probably wouldn't speed things up to match (or get close) to the 27" iMac with 32gig of ram performance. So I see three issue's with the 2010 iMac: - slow importing - slow processing - slow uploading The slow uploading may be difficult to overcome if slow internet is commonly found at the events. The slow processing & slow importing are probably the areas that will be improved with a newer computer. If a new computer is the way to go for you…if it was a desktop model…I'm assuming you would want another 21" iMac. Is this true? - Nick [/QUOTE]
