[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 427678, member: 13090"] Quad core is pretty much the "sweet spot" right now. You'll see a big jump in performance over dual-core but eight cores will only net you a marginal performance gain. RAM is second to overall CPU "horsepower" but it's important that you have enough and that it be relatively fast. 16GB would be plenty assuming it's good mem. The GPU is also taken advantage of these days, at least by Photoshop, moreso than ever; not sure about ACDsee products however. Typically, though, digital photos are lot easier on the GPU than rendering fast-action animation for things like video games with their fancy vertex shaders and what not. Something middle of the road should be fine here. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
