Originally posted by shooz Sorry if it came out that way.
Oh, Sorry for my own phrasing, there, I didn't mean to say *you* were being vague, I was referring to the situation with compatibilities seemed a little vague.
(Nursing a sinus headache today, I wasn't concentrating, apparently. )
I get it now, anyway.
Anyway, not really sure on what software/OS I'll go with: I figure I'll start with whatever I can get hold of/seems like a good combination to start with and go from there. (I'm using PSP X2 Ultimate at the moment, but I'm not too attached to it: right now it seems Lightroom would be the most appealing thing out there, so I may head Photoshop's way eventually. )
Sounds like the 64 bit is generally a plus: we went with this on sweetie's laptop figuring that it'd indeed be more future-proof.
I expect that photo editing will be the most demanding thing I care to do. I'm not really into gaming in any way to speak of, but I do think odds are good a lot of the used machines out there will have been made with that in mind anyway.
I appreciate the tip, it seems to make one variable pretty simple.
