Basically, my question is :

What will I be able to do with this PC and what will I not be able to do?

My main priority is running Photoshop and InDesign CS3.

What's it's graphics capabilities? ie. which of the new games could it run ok?

Cheers in advance,
Davey.

 

They are some pretty good components there. It is much better than my current system and I run Photoshop without any problems.

 

you can definetely run about heavy use 3-4 programs of graphic softwares even at once with those specs.
really nice specs man.. 4GB RAM as well? impressive with core 2 quad

you can probably play multi games at once as well

 

Thanks for info - yeah I want to get 4gb just to future proof it at much as I can really. I often need to create 600dpi large canvases on photoshop and that eats 2gb like its nothing when you have a lot of layers going on!

The only games i really want to play are pro evo and COD4 but not sure if COD4 will run well on it.

 

Thats pretty good config.
You can go hardcore gaming on that.

 

looks like COD4 will

scroll down to development and right side you will see "system req"
those reqs are pretty low compared to yours

if you have problem, it'll be only due to graphic Card..but I doubt it

 

Yeah thanks for the link it looks like it'll be fine! Will just go ahead and order it I think.

 

How much was it? Really nice PC, seeing as its' like one of he best out there there will be probably no things you cannot run.

My keyboard is running out of batteries right now

-H.

 

Hey This is pretty Nice Config. Don't look at other config as this is the best. Btwn whats the cost?

 

Just remember, you're running 64 bit vista and there are still issues with compatibility with both hardware and software.

 

Its about 500 pounds for components.

Thanks for info about 64 bit vista problems - this will be fixed soon right?
