Looking for Mini itx capable of running Photoshop + Illustrator (cs4 or higher)
- by drozzy
Ok, so I want to build a small pc for my gf that she can take with her instead of the crappy laptop that she has.
Overall I think the complete system should not weight more than 10 lbs.
The requirements are to run at least 4 applications simultaneously, and be able to switch between them with no problems:
Photoshop
Illustrator
Word editor
Browser
Should be able to handle 1920x1200 resolution.
I am currently looking at LGA775 socket as I can just transfer my desktop cpu Q6600 to it.
Currently deciding between DQ45EK and DG41TX, but any other suggestions are welcome.
So I am thinking something along the lines of:
MINI-BOX M350 Case with 90 watt psu
Q6600 cpu (my desktop cpu)
2x2GB kingston ram (or similar)
Video? Need external or built-in G45 on DQ45EK will do?
My primary concern is whether the 90WATT is sufficient of the Q6600?
Thanks
