A friend is interested in me building him a machine which runs Photoshop, Illustrator, In Design, etc. and can run them fast. I have a few questions.
1)I'm wondering if I can get by with an Athlon XP or if an Athlon 64 is that much better that it justifies the expense.
2)What is an appropriate amount of RAM for these Adobe apps?
3)Other than size, does the type of Hard Drive matter much?
4)Is it necessary to get a high-end video card for these graphics programs? If not, what would be sufficent?
5)Anything else I should be concerned about.
Thanks!
Adam
