What if I have Photoshop, Word and Excel open almost constantly? -- nm - David Feb 16, 11:43 3
- *and* make sure you get the 4GB of RAM in the least number of sticks so that you can later upgrade to 6 or 8 easily without replacing sticks - oblique Feb 16, 11:49
- also, the i7 is generally at least a quad-core processor, more helpful for Photoshop than an i5 (usually dual core) with more RAM, IMO -- nm - oblique Feb 16, 11:47
- 4GB is still more than enough, I'd say. *maybe* if you were working on some ginormous photoshop stuff you'd want 6GB but even then you'd need 64-bit - oblique Feb 16, 11:45
