Just buying a bigger hammer won't get screws better into the wall. Nor will buying a newer camera make someone who can't frame a shot a better photographer. It's wise to ask first if the conversion step is unusually slow and maybe use a faster converter instead of a faster computer, if said converter is the cause. -Wolfgang
