I'm eventually going to buy a lap top all for myself... I'm considering a Mac of some sorts because I hear they are much better for graphics.... But..here's what I'll be doing w/ it: - Installing: --- Photoshop CS2 --- ImageReady CS2 --- Illustrater (CS2?) --- ULead Cool 3D --- Cinema 4D (and some expansions, maybe) --- And a few recording programs/Drum + Bass simulaters ^^That is, when I can afford all those.. which won't be for a LONG time. On this computer, I will be making/saving several different graphics "projects". I will also probably make this my computer for college where I will hopefully be double majoring in Graphics Design and Photography. But, I am also a musician and a writer. So I'll be saving several poems, songs, etc.And I will also (hopefully) be recording into it with portable recording gear (the guitar stuff). So I'm guessing I'll need space for that? After all of this is complete, I would LOVE for the computer to still run fast. Excluding the internet, because that's a different story, and I don't feel like talking about ISP's at the moment. Thank you for any help you can give me. Also, please include prices to any gear you may suggest. And, is the above even possible? Peace.
Yes it is possiable just need a frickin fast comp .... i would suggest a 128mb GFX card...nice CPU,cooling system (fan w/e works to keep ur pc going ) and a monitar.. thats what really counts to me...u can goto computer sites to get really cheap prices for parts im sorry im not really detailed but i tried
Youll be hard-pressed to find a mainstream PC with a 128MB GFX Card... 256MB is mainstream now (not that the memory matters anyway =]) Yeah, to run all that software, you would need quite a decent computer. 2GB of RAM would help a LOT.
Do you think a MacBook P - R - 0 would do the trick?Does that fit the RAM qualifications and what-not? I'm no good w/ computer language (RAM, etc.) Thanks to both of you for helping.
MacBooks are quite powerful, just a little expensive. Make sure you buy one with more than 1GB of RAM - its on every specification list; you cant miss it! All processors should be able to handle that. Yeah just make sure you have atleast 1GB of RAM - 2GB would be awesome. PM me if you need any further help.
Is this the RAM? I found the RAM on it.. You select either 2 GB or 4 GB of RAM.. But you have to add $750 for 4GB.. I guess it has a standard 2 GB of RAM.. W/e.. Thanks everbody for the help.. I now know what I'm going to be saving up for later on. That is correct... I just wanted some advice for the future. Thanks again, all!
