Upgrade Dim8300 for Adobe CS3 Design Premium?
I just ordered CS3 Design Premium (Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, Dreamweaver, Flash, InDesign) and am considering upgrading my Dimensions 8300's RAM. Additionally, I would like to upgrade from XP Pro to Vista. I currently run Office 2003, DreamweaverMX, Illustrator 10 and Photoshop 8 on this system without issue.
My system profile is as follows:
Pentium 4 CPU 3.00GHz
2.99 GHz, 1GB RAM
QUESTIONS:
1) What benefits or problems can I expect moving from XP to Vista?
1.1) Which Vista should I upgrade to?
2) Does my system require more RAM to run the Vista you recommend?
3) Should I get more RAM for the design suite?
4) Will Office 2003 run fine on the Vista you recommend?
5) Will I need to reinstall all software if I install Vista?
6) If you think I could use a better/faster processor, what do you recommend, and is installation do-it-yourself?
7) What would dual processors do for heavy graphic design performance?
I'm quite novice. Your expertise will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
