1. I need some advice on graphics card that will be able to be used for Photoshop CS4 (i.e. GPU use only), absolutely no gaming. Would prefer Nvidia. Have read posts on this but is it really true 9800 is more than enough? Want confirmation and any reference review / post is appreciated.
The set-up would probably be
- Samsung 23 P2370 2ms/Full HD
- MSI X58 PRO-E X-Fire Ready Heatpipe w/FW/GBE/S
- Team Elite PC3-1333MHz CL9 (3 x 2GB)
- Intel x25-m G2 80GB
- WD 1TB (or 500GB; Green or Black)
- CM CM690 3x12cm Fan + Side Window
- CORSAIR HX620W EPS
- Sony 870S 24x DvD+-RW (SATA)
2. Comments on rig setup for PS CS4 also welcome.
3. Which shop (Fuwell, Bell, etc) do you recommend I buy from and assemble for me. Also need shop to install dual boot OS as in (4) below.
4. Presently I have 2 existing XP licences that I intend to port over to this new rig. One of them will be upgraded to Windows 7.
5. Of course aware the XP OS will only utilise partial 6GB RAM (any problem technically?), but this is for my old DLINK wireless cameras (DCS-2120 and DCS5220) which I assume cannot run on Win7 (have not tried before as did not have Win7 presently). Anyone who knows otherwise is appreciated to share.
I figure there are many gurus, talented and sharp people in this forum, hence making this post. Feel free to share. Many thanks in advance.:angel:
