I want to know if my computer can handle the latest Adobe Software (Photoshop CS3, Dreamweaver, etc...). I don't know much about hardware so; I ask if my computer will blow up if I use them.

System requirements:
Intel® Pentium® 4, Intel Centrino®, Intel Xeon®, or Intel Core™ Duo (or compatible) processor

What I have:
AMD Athlon XP 2800+
2.08 GHz 1 GB (960 MB) of Ram

2.8ghz cpu and 1g ram? Sounds fine to me. It's dated... but it should work. I used a similar PC for all of my Adobe/ Macromedia projects up until October or so when I finally upgraded my PC.

What type of work do you plan on doing? Depending on what it is.... you might not have enough ram for it.

That's just fine, yeah. I used to make some of those abstract rendering thingies (that I think only Chainer remembers) on a 500 MHz computer with 64 MB RAM. Took days for the 3D parts to finish rendering, and then I had to painstakingly assemble the images at A4-size on resolution 150. But even that, as I recall it, was somewhat doable. And before that, I used a 60 MHz computer with 16 MB RAM, although I never made anything too serious with that.

Kids these days have it easy!
