ATI X300/9600 powerful enough for Photoshop CS3?

#1 Post by ulrich.von.lich » Fri Apr 18, 2008 8:07 am

I'm thinking of getting a Adobe Photoshop CS3 for my camera's RAW data process and I wonder if an X300 (slightly less powerful than the 9600) in my T43 can handle the program well.

A student version of CS3 is affordable but another ThinkPad is not, so I would like to make sure of it.

Any feedback is appreciated!

It will be fine. Photoshop isn't a GPU intensive application.

I can run Photoshop CS3 on my A31 with a 16mb ATI 7500, tends to be laggy and lock up from time to time, but it's functional.

It will run fine. Been there, done that.

Totally, entirely, completely off topic, George, but I wonder where this statement (about you!) does not apply?? :-)

I am pretty sure George never was a military solar panel administrator in Guatemala. :)

And you are soooo very right with that assumption, sir... :D

Johan, my dear friend, there are so many things I would like to do and so many places that I'd like to see, including yours and dr_st's countries, but list keeps on getting longer and the time keeps on getting harder to find...
