[QUOTE="ryan20fun, post: 564777, member: 38850"] Each core should run up to the nominal frequency (4GHZ for example), But the core(s) can run faster/slower depending on wheather the CPU has power saving functions(any recent once in the last several years) or if it has a turbo mode. For example I have the AMD FX-8120 8 core 3.1GHZ CPU, The CPU frequency ranges from 1.4GHZ to 4GHZ depending on load and CPU temprature. Outside of stnthetic benchmarks, More RAM is better. I would say try to go for at least 16GiB's of ram for photo editing, The more the merrier. It does not help you if you have 8GiB the RAM that can be accessed 25% faster if you need to store 12GiB of data in there. That will cause the system to page out unneeded memory to DISK (SUPER slow) to fit what the app wants. But the app may want more RAM then you have, In which case it could crash(not designed very well in regards to memory allocation) or give a error about RAM requirements. The GPU seams capable from the specs, But I would not expect very much from it being a low end card and it being a mobile version. The memory controller is weak on the card (DDR3), But I don't think PS/LR need very fast access to VRAM. You just have to remember that the CPUs and GPUs put into laptops/netbooks/etc are not going to be as fast as a desktop as they are power and heat problems to deal with. But they should not be far behind the desktop version. HTH [/QUOTE]
