[QUOTE="devin_c_co, post: 268855"] [b]Thanks for the replies... Another ?[/b] Thanks for the replies. No, don’t plan on doing any gaming. Never have gotten into it. The video editing would just be home movie type of stuff with iMovie. With the Photoshop stuff, the only thing I worry about is that some day I may be working with some very large files. But I’m still learning in PS so it may be a while until I get to that point. Not sure if the upgraded video RAM will help with working with large files in PS or not. I know that system RAM would, that’s why I’ll be going to 2GB when I can. Currently between my photos and mp3’s I have over 140GB. That will increase pretty quickly in size as I’m still ripping my CD collection and I take a ton of pictures. So the 250GB drive will fill up pretty fast. Which do you think would be best? Upgrade to the 500GB and get a large single FW drive for backup? Or… Stick with the 250GB and get 2 large FW drives, one for data another for backup?
