I’m considering buying Photoshop CS, but I have a rather old PC at this point (Athlon 900MHz, the Thunderbird core). The Photoshop requirements list a Pentium III of 4 as a requirement.

Does anyone know if CS will run on an Athlon Thunderbird?

Thanks!!!

It will run as well on an Athlon as on a Pentium, although it will be a little slow with a 900MHz processor. Do you have plenty of RAM?

I don’t think there’s an actual CPU check in the app or installer but I’m not sure you’de be really happy with performance. You can always download the free 30 day tryout.

Make sure you have XP or Win2k. That IS in the installer!

Thank you all for the replies! I am running XP and 640MB of RAM, so it should run OK, although a little slow.
