   Hello   
      
   I have a 4 year old Pentium 4 machine with XP home and 1.5Gb of RAM.   
      
   I use Photoshop CS3 a lot and find the machine is a bit slow at things like   
   opening RAW files. (It really slows down when I have a couple of extra   
   programs open along with CS3). I have two ways forward.   
      
   1. Buy a new (dual core 3Gb) machine for about 350 UKpounds - these come   
   from Dell with Vista in them. I've read that Vista is a bit bloated.   
      
   2. Upgrade my RAM to 3Gb for 50UKP.   
      
   So, will the cheaper option give me a burst of speed, or do I need to buy a   
   machine with a faster processor?   
      
   Regards   
      
   John
