Hi guys,
I am new to this forum and i hope you guys would be able to help me.
I am building a new PC specifically for photoshop. The version of PS i am using is CS2.
I have been wondering which would be better suited to photoshop or rather to my requirements listed below? A dual core with a higher clock speed or a quad with a slower clock speed?
I have been searching online but i havent really found the answer that i am looking for. I am predominantly working with vector graphics in Photoshop. I am building a mapping system and thus there will be a lot of paths, lots of layers, lots of bitmap image layers and it will become larger both in file size and also pixel count as time goes on as more portions of the map are drawn in.
At this time, i do not have unlimited budget so i would like to know which configuration would be more beneficial to what i am doing....
And would let's say going from 4gb of ram to 8gb show a marked improvement on the responsiveness of photoshop? Any idea what is PS CS2's addressable memory limit?
Oh and finally, anyone have any idea whether PS CS2 would run fine on either XP 64bit or Vista 64bit bcos of the 8gb of ram which i wud eventually like to use if this amount of ram proves beneficial and PS works fine and isn't 'bottlenecked' in anyways in 64bit environment as it's a native 32bit app.
Thanks a million in advance for any help rendered!
Oh and btw, forgot to mention, i am looking at the amd phenom 9500 quad cpu but if a dual core would give me the same performance at a lower price point then i would rather save the money.
What about the intel Q6600? would there be an advantage by choosing intel over amd for Photoshop application?
