    For CS2... your video card is not an issue as it doesn't really use your video card other than to display an image...

    The amount of memory you have available will affect the performance of Photoshop...

    If you are getting CS4, then you will want the 9600m GT since nVidia and Adobe have teamed up to provide GPU acceleration in CS4. You should also get a decent amount of RAM.

    Yes, get 3GB of RAM, if using 32-bit OS, or 4GB of RAM, if 64-bit OS.
