when I read the system requirements for the 64 bit windows 7, it looks like that it can be installed on both 32bitCPU & 64bitCPU...

Is athlon 3500+ a 32 bitCPU or 64bitCPU?

Is 1.50GB RAM acceptable?

thanks

Athlon64 3500+ is a 64bit cpu.

However, I strongly suggest NOT to install Win 7 on it. It's way too old with too little ram.

Install XP or Linux on it.

yes, because your ancient DDR ram is not cheap.

thx acc

ok, changing plan. For photo editing(my main usage), opening/editing a lot of RAW files at the same time, which system would you get? A pc or a mackintosh?

Hmm... that I'll leave that to the experts.

RAM (4-6gb) and hard drive speed (SSD? or RAID-0 or RAID-1) is important here. Video card is important as well since the latest Photoshop makes use of the GPU to accelerate certain operations and filters.

I find that nowadays, brand name computers are as good a buy, or are sometimes better buys than white box build-it-yourself machines. During the Dell Deals sale, for example, you can get a very decent system (Core i3, 8GB RAM, Win7 64-bit, 1TB HDD, etc. for $700 with LCD included) for a very attractive price.

A PC like that has more than enough horsepower for your photo-editing needs la.
