Re: [APML] computer video card

Hi Bobby,

The integrated video on the motherboard will probably be fine for 
Photoshop. If you play games, it would be a different story. You can always 
try it and then add a video card later, but if all you need it for is 
Photoshop, you probably won't need to.

The 2.8 gigahertz machine should be much faster for Photoshop tasks (and 
everything else) than your 500 megahertz machine.
