Default Mac vs PC

The reason I have started to think about this is I have a Win XP
Duo Core processor with 2GB of Ram, and I am amazed at how slow
Photoshop CS3 loads, especially when I compare the speed of
Photoshop CS3 running on an older Mac. I might be buying a new
computer sooner than I normally do.


Under 11 seconds for CS3 extended just now, with two both my web
browers and news reader loaded. Seems fast enough to me for a PC.

About 15 secs for CS3 the first time, but when I closed it to try it
a second time, it opened in less than 5. Seems like there is a FNP
Licensing Service program that takes awhile to check out everything
when you first open the software, but it stays running in the
background even after shutting Photoshop down.

I think I paid about $1300 -$1500 for my off the shelf system about a
year ago. I actually upgraded sound card and video card so I really
not sure of the final cost, but it was in that range. It was around
the same time you upgraded yours, what is the total cost on your
custom job.

The quick overview:
Gateway GM5072
AMD Athlon 64X2 Dual Core 4200+
2.21 GHZ 2.0 GB Ram



Just under 2K.


and what is the quick overview of the system.



It runs just fine. :}
