The title basicly says it all.
Building a new rig for work and not sure which would better suit me, the total for either configuration is within $20 of each other.
Athlon X2 3800+
4GB ram
or
Athlon X2 4400+
2GB ram
I work at a sign shop and we are getting fairly heavy into vehicle wraps where the files easily cross into the 250MB plus mark in Photoshop. I know right now I peg out my 1GB ram so easily right now so just having 2GB will be an improvement. I often have Photoshop, Illustrator, AutoCAD, and the usual other office apps running at the same time. For reference I am presently running dual XP 2400+'s on a GA-7A8DW+.
I am also considering running XP64 on the new computer as well.
