Hi Phat -

I'd strongly recommend going with a minimum of 256MB of memory.  Adobe
products are pretty memory intensive, especially Photoshop and PageMaker,
even though they also create virtual scratch disks.  We currently have 2
machines (a 300Mhz & a 450Mhz) that continually crash on a regular basis
when using Photoshop.  According to Adobe, we need to increase the memory
from 128MB to at least 256MB, and possibly more.

If you ask anyone in the graphics field, they'll tell you to go with a Mac.....
:-)

Best of Luck!
