p.1 #1 · New Computer Requirements?


OK, I know it's been asked a 100 times before but now that CS4 is out can anyone guide me as to what key parameters one should look for in buying a computer that will perform well with CS4? I don't play computer games, have a lot of photos, make huge panoramas, create HDR images, create ProShows (now with BluRay), etc, etc.

I'm not gonna build one (wish I could) so that's why I'm asking for guidance. Obviously a proper video card is a huge thing now. But what does that really mean? I'm not 100% sure!

I'd appreciate any help on this. Oh and no I don't want to spend $5K either. Was hoping for something under $2K. Thanks again, Bob Ring

Im not listing parts again you can find them in a thread a little lower down...but I will say this and I can see that many others here will agree....building your own computer is no big deal,it looked daunting to me the first time I did it ...you know what,with screw driver in hand ...one hour later I was finished,another hour after that ,the os was installed and I never looked back,do some research,choose your parts ,put the coffee on and start building....you wont regret it ,and will build a better machine for less dollars....its worth it for sure.

Dell 630 with Q9550 ... my brother just bought one ... about $1,500. After using his, I will probably be buying one soon.
