- Additional RAM required to run multiple applications simultaneously (512MB to 1GB recommended)
- 3GB of available hard-disk space to install all applications (installation of -1,024x768 monitor resolution with 16-bit video card (24-bit screen display recommended)
- CD-ROM drive
- For Adobe PostScript® printers: PostScript Level 2 or PostScript 3™
-Internet or phone connection required for product activation
- QuickTime 6.5 required for multimedia features

I have Photoshop 7 (the older version) on my old 800Mhz 128MB Gateway (5 years old)... it runs just fine. I don't think photoshop is all that tough on a system's resources. At least its not like video editing.

Here are the actual specs for Photoshop CS2:
Required Disk Space (PC) 650 MB

Required Memory (PC) 320 MB (Recommended: 384 MB)

Required CPU Class (PC) Intel Pentium III

Operating System Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows XP

Not a problem, that's why this is a forum. If there were no questions or problems, there would be no forum. We're here to help. :D

CS on my laptop(sempron 2800 underclocked to 800MHz) and it runs just fine.

I feel so stupid, because I don't know what underclocked to 88MHz means. Everyone else, thanks for the help.

LaptopExtreme- Thanks I know I shouldn't feel bad, but I feel like I'm asking really obvious questions. Unfortunately, I have hundreds of them and I'll be on here a lot asking them periodically.

He's probably using a program to lower his clock and voltage to the CPU. To get better battery life and cooler temperatures. I'm doing the same. I've got a 1.86 Ghz and I'm undervolting/underclocking to 800mhz (equals to .8 Ghz). Adds maybe 30% extra battery life and may extend the life of your processor. You can use programs like Notebook Hardware Control (NHC, also known as CHC-Centrino Hardware Control), or RMClock. I definitely recommend asking questions or reading tutorials before attempting though.
 
Yup... It really helps out this Averatec. I don't know exactly how much more battery life I get but it's definetly a good bit better, and heat is much less.

Odd how even at half speeds you can't tell a major difference!

Yup, not a lot of people will notice the difference because it uses dynamic switching, so it picks up the pace when needed. A lot of laptops in general does that already when running on battery (to an extent). But with undervolting, you can configure it into your own steps and use less power. I think you can get an average of 30% extra life... but of course it all depends on your usage.
