    I am about to purchase the latest edition of Photoshop to install on my Z (specs in sig). Does anybody have any ideas as to whether it will perform okay on my hardware?

    For instance does anybody have any feedback on how well CS3 runs?
    (i appreciate CS4 has a couple of performance improvements)

    Many thanks :)

    I have Z590(2.53GHz, 4GB ram...) and CS4 works perfect.

    I have CS3 and it works just fine on my Z11VN/B. Much faster than my desktop, in fact. Processing and tweaking RAW files from my Canon 40D is a pleasant task on the Z. I plan to upgrade to CS4 eventually, mostly to take advantage of CUDA. ;)
