    Computer Build: How does my choice of video card affect Photoshop/Lightroom?

    I am trying to keep my build under the $1500 range, which I think is "doable". The monitor prices will be the key....

    Computer Build: How does my choice of video card affect Photoshop/Lightroom?

    I heard this mentioned, but I came here for clarification. I just don't want to wast dollars in an unnecessary manner. That money, could be used to enhance some other aspect of my build - like an additional monitor :)

    Computer Build: How does my choice of video card affect Photoshop/Lightroom?

    If I were building a computer completely focused on photoshop/lightroom and office focused tasks, does that affect my choices of video cards? (assuming I am doing zero gaming on this computer). This computer would be using either a single 24" lcd monitor or (preferably) two 22" or 24" lcd...

    New Multimedia Build - Photo/Gaming/Video

    New Multimedia Build - Photo/Gaming/Video

    Forgive me as I do not keep up to date with technology news and happenings... but, will the i7 chip have some degree of longevity to it? Meaning that if I want to upgrade in one year maybe 18 months I will not be behind the eight ball again?

    New Multimedia Build - Photo/Gaming/Video

    Thanks for the suggestion! I hadn't really considered building an i7 centralized rig. I just assumed it was "significantly" out of my budget. Would I get a much bigger "bang for the buck" from an AMD Phenom II build?
