[QUOTE="netguy, post: 395573, member: 25781"] I use my C2D Macbook Pro (2.16, 2GB, 128mb Vram), for all my Final Cut and Photoshop work. Before I started using these programs, I too was a little skeptical about using the 5400rpm drive, and considered upgrading to a 7200rpm drive. However once I started using these programs, I was actually plesently surprised. The full retail version of CS3 runs fast (multiple times faster than CS2), and Final Cut, even though its 5.0 (PPC version) runs good also. Keep in mind, all my scratch disks, swap files and data, is living on an external 1TB external FW800 drive, running RAID 0, which helps speed things up. To answer your question, get CS3. Its alot faster than CS2, and yes...the Macbook Pro, even with a 5400rpm drive, works great. It really comes down to screen real-estate. [/QUOTE]
