    Hello all. I have a Gateway P7805u with the stock 4 gigs of ram. I want to use Photoshop CS5 on it and was wondering how well the laptop will handle it? Would I need to upgrade ram or will the stock ram and processor be ok?

    My wife uses my 7805u and uses it for Photoshop CS4 and Autodesk Civil 3D. Runs fine for small to moderate size projects.
