I plan to buy a new computer, anyone know if Intel Dual Core enough to run photoshop smoothly ?or need to use Intel Quad? The sale ask me to buy Quad if run photoshop ..

其實重點係要夠Ram。 如果你資金充裕，買quad囉，否則dual都唔會好差的。

Thanks Ching. The configuration which the sale gave me are 4G DDR Ram, is that enough? Also, someone told me that Dual cannot have max 4G where Quad can have max 8G, is that ture?

[william_lau]

錯。support 4GB同8GB係唔關cpu事，而係關OS事。
如你想用盡8GB ram或以上，OS (即係windows)必須係64bit，我地一般用開的windows係32bit，最高支援4GB。

我意見係其實4gb都夠用。

唔家唔係好多program可以run到 Quad core, ps cs4 係其中一個run到

[goldeagle]

so, use window Vista okay?

[goldeagle]

The version i purchase is Photoshop CS4 ar ...

[william_lau]

vista梗係okay啦。 cs4配合nvidia 顯示卡仲可以用實時放大旋轉等功能。

understood, thanks so much ar !!!

Here is the config the sales gave me:

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
Motherboard: Asus PSQL Pro (Intel P43+ICH10)
Ram: Samsung 4G DDR2-900 PC-6400
Hard Disk: Hitachi 500G Sata2 3Gbps
Display card: Nvidia GeForce 9800GT 512M Dx10
Asus 20x DVD-rom

Total : $4850
if upgrad to 8G Ram, +$300
I also plan to add a TV Card + Blu-ray rom too ..

is that okay ?

[william_lau]

ok啦
如果對電腦唔係咁熟，就唔好upgrade到8GB住，因為你要轉用64 bit version的windows先可以用晒，而硬件的driver都係要搵64bit專用的，對於電腦新手可能會覺得有D麻煩。 其實4GB ram都好夠用。 反而而家硬碟夠晒平，你可以選個大D容量的硬碟或買多一個大的，方便你遲D錄高清電視或存放照片可以有多D位。

Thanks William C Hing, so, if later I upgrade to 8GB, this configuration still be okay? actually, I will buy Window Vista together too .. around $600 if purchase the computer together ..

[william_lau]

如果要升8GB，硬件係ok，但你要reinstall個64bit version windows，工程都幾大架。

Understand la, thanks a lot !
