I just bought a new computer- with a core i7 processor, 8Gb RAM, 256 Gb SSD and 256Gb HD. The drives are still virtually empty except for Windows 7, Photoshop CS5, and several folders of CR2 files from a Canon 5d Mk2.
It still takes Bridge very long to process and create thumbnails and previews for my photos. Does anyone have any ideas or tips on how to make Bridge work faster? It takes forever to process these pictures.
The pictures are on the HD, as I consider that to be my data drive- I keep the SSD for the Windows + CS5 installations, and as a scratch drive.
