• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Just an update to this thread. I went with the PowerSpec G415 last week. i7 quad @ 4 Ghz / 16GB RAM with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970/4GB video RAM, Windows 10 installed/downgradeable to Windows 7. Glad to report no issues so far with Windows 10, all of my applications are running just fine on it. No real workflow change from Windows 7 other than appearance. So far, I'm seeing no reason to downgrade from 10 as I'd originally planned to do. It's a breath of fresh air to have a nearly 5x increase in video rendering speed while being able to keep working on other apps simultaneously. The old machine could not run anything else, not even a web browser, during an After FX/Premiere render.

Thanks guys for all the suggestions, all helpful and I took many of them to heart with this purchase.
