Hi Guys,
I am not a professional, but I use CS3 and do HDV editing (mostly family stuff). I just ordered a laptop with a :
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo Processor T9600 (2.80GHz)
6MB DDR3 RAM
1G Nvidia 130 Graphics card.
Running Vista 64 professional
The max this machine can take is 8Mb DDR3. It would cost me an extra $200 for them to upgrade from 6 to 8. Do you think I will need it or notice it? Is it worth me upgradeing for $200 in your mind?
Note: I am no expert, but I have read that CS3 can only use something like 3.5Mb of RAM and benefits more from a Duo as opposed to a Quad. I am typically not multitasking while I work so other than the OS, I am not won't be running tons of apps at once.
Thanks,
TCwave
