Joel....I haven't seen this specifically mentioned; get 2 hard drives but w/a C drive 10K spin rate....makes CS3 (all programs) work so much faster and as much memory as you can afford while adding 2nd HD w/a "normal" 7200 spin and again as much memory as affordable.


E.G. My C HD 150 GB and E HD 750 GB


I've been using this (custom built) config for over a year now (so you can probably get more memory for cheaper and stay w/in budget) w/out issues and that's w/Vista.


Have fun


Bill
