What kind of user am I?
My user profile is: mainly Photoshop 6, some web browsing, some administrative, occasional gaming.
I would like to build me a new system that would speed my Photoshop, and not ruin me in the process.
For speeding Photoshop operations I understand that I need:
1. Memory. The more and speedier, the better. I’ aiming at 512Mb 133 at 222, good brand.
2. CPU. Id. Thinking of 1GHz.
3. Discs....to load and unload images....maybe dual 7200 rpm with raid 0. (SCSI a bit over my budget)
4. Graphics card.
My question is: what is really my requirement for that graphics card?
I’m confused about this, because all I read in announcements, discussions, forums, is about more and better 3D performance. Is this because good 2D is taken for granted, or I’m not finding the right forum? What about, for instance, image quality?
Any suggestions are welcome.
