The wife's pictures

[sbjlsmtj]

The wife takes lots of pictures, I'm talking gigs worth of pictures. Is it slowing the system down? One of my buddy says yes because it has to go thru the pictures to find data to pull for whatever program you want to run, my other buddy says no, it just fills up your hard drive but doesn't slow your computer. Well both sound reasonable, which is it? Should I get a seperate HD or an external HD for pictures? Of if I'm not having storage amount problems, should I just let it go? Thanks for any input.

As long as you keep the drive defragged it shouldn't really make a difference. I'd archive them on DVD in case your HDD craps out on ya.

Ok, Thanks for the info. We were thinking of loading them to cd and we will, I'm just glad I don't have to buy another HD LOL. Thanks again.
