I'm pretty sure it could handle photoshop. These old as PC's at school handle it fine. It just takes a little to load up. Don't know about any of those other programs though.

You talking CS3? Then no.

You want a C2D processor and at least 1 gig of RAM and if you run vista better max your RAM.

Or you could just go get a Mac, but they do cost more initially but save you money in the end.
