Re: New PC spec questions?
O.K., I owned a computer store for 5 years and imported systems from China to Colombia and have owned virtually all of them.
First off if you can afford it today BUY a 1366 mhz system with a quad core CPU otherwise it will be obsolete before you take it out of the box. I'm running an Intel board and quad core 800mhz and it's OK but not killer. I have 4 operating computers in my home and run different operating systems on them including Linux. I Beta Tested new Windows 7 and find it's just Vista with a diff, name and a couple small improvements. Had to remove it because all of my periphery systems won't work with it until the software manufactures update their systems. CS3 runs great on XP Pro so I will keep that for now. Use as much memory (ram) as your system will support and if possible buy a "BTX" motherboard system because they run much cooler and heat is the biggest enemy of PC's, the cooler the better.
