But if that means changing licences, it becomes a different story.
@ work i have been very pleased with HP (xw series) , very unhappy with Dell (optiplex). ok, ok, comparing apples and oranges...
i do prefer ati graphic cards as their drivers are more stable
if i am not mistaken, i read that future development of adobe CS4 would use the rendering capabilites of the GPU for speeding up things...

Nicolas,
Thank you. It would be great to have the 64 bit OS but I don't so I will have to live with the 3-3.5 GB.
I would not be able to afford the change over to a MAC. I have so many programs that don't run on a MAC and would not like to leave them behind.
The drivers may be more stable but in my experience with ATI cards I have found trying to find the drivers sometimes causes one to shoot the card.
The GPU evolution is interesting. I was reading a little about it last night.
Thanks,
