Adobe says pentium is needed to run CS, but the salesperson told me AMD Athlon 3200+ with 2.2ghz, is equal to pentium. I have 512 ram and 160 gb. Before I lay out $700 for CS, can anyone tell me if they run it with AMD?

You may find that 512 mb of RAM is a little restrictive . I’m running with a 2800+ Athlon and 1.5 mb RAM . Smoother Ride <G> .

I have an Athlon XP 2800+ with 1 Gb DDR ram, and CS works fine.

Before I’d shell out $700, I’d think about whether or not I could use a new piece of hardware, too. Some of these upgrade offers beat the $700 retail price of CS.

Thanks Brent. I had that offer from epson last month but didn’t take it because my system was too old. Now the offer expired, but I will see if I can get it anyway. Good Suggestion.

I use a pentium 4 2.8 GHZ at work and an AMD Athlon XP 2700+ at home (2.1 GHZ) and i see virtually no difference.

Pentiums are over priced and over rated that’s why. Your AMD is probably faster than that Pentium.

I believe the original question has been answered and this thread is turning into nothing but a spitting contest. R/O.
