[QUOTE="mac57, post: 663916, member: 17052"] Minimum specs? I would say "the maximum you can comfortably afford". You appear to be looking for some pretty heavy horsepower, given what you are using your machine for. Go for the full 4 GB of RAM, the 24" screen, and then fill out the rest of the specs with the best you can comfortably afford. My rationale for the above recommendation? Here goes... You want the RAM as your first priority because it is critically important in running such large and memory heavy apps as you call out. You want the 24" screen as your second priority for two reasons. First, it uses the superior IPS LCD panel type (vs. the TN panel type used by the 20") and the second, the extra "real estate" will be truly welcome while working on things like Photoshop, with its plethora of on screen palettes.
