I’m ready to buy all new equipment primarily to run Photoshop CS, and would appreciate your advice. I want to buy ALL I need, without wasting money on stuff I don’t.
Scanned images will be 600dpi with file sizes in the 40 to 60 range, a few as large as 250. But, I will never play a game on my computer so don’t know how important the video card is. I WILL want to make copies of commercial VHS and DVDs and be able to re-arrange the segments. Otherwise, with no plans to buy a cam-corder, I don’t anticipate the need for much video editing capability.
Right now I am looking at a Micron Millenia 920i with: MX Pro; P4 3.0GHz; 512MB Dual Channel DDR400 SDRAM – 2DIMMs; 120GB SATA 8MB Cache (7200RPM); 4xDVD-r/RW,+R/RW Pinnacle Studio 8; 128DDR nVidea GeForceFX 5200 Ultra AGB card; 1394 IEEE PCI Firewire card with Pinnacle Studio 8; and the Samsung 19" digital flat panel monitor (191T)
Am I buying too little, too much, or the wrong stuff? Should I go to 1GB RAM? And . . . thank you to anyone still willing to answer a dumb question from a novice!
