Best machine for Creative Suite?

Hi, I'm about to create a machine (PC not Apple) for Adobe Creative Suite. What are the considerations for such a machine? I'm thinking of processor speed, cache memory, RAM, video, and hard drive space. What would a "very good machine" contain? If this question has been asked before, I missed it, sorry.
Thanks for the help, larry.k

To your list add
* hard drive technology
* hard drive speed
* hard drive configuration (RAID etc.)
* number of hard drives
These are all extremely important factors in performance, much
overlooked because many people think of hard drives as generic.

  • Best laptop for creative suite cs6?

    I will be heading to college in September and wish to buy a new laptop and install creative suite production premium on it. I need a computer which will run fairly smoothly with production premium  but possibly more importantly I need a computer which will last me my four years of undergraduate. My college offers special deals on apple and dell computers so I'm strongly considering buying a laptop from those brands but am willing to purchase my computer from another company if it's clear that the laptop would be longer lasting/good with production premium. I can afford a little above 2000 dollars for the computer but I won't likely be able to play around with the computer much to imporove things like memory so custimization is basically out. Here are the descriptions of four computers I was looking at were the macbook 15 and 13.3 as well as the new special addition 15r inspiration and the new xps 15. The new xps 15 at 2000 dollars seems the most powerful but my understanding is that macs have a longer lifespan. Any recomendations would be great thanks!

  • Failing to assemble Downloaded Pre-built Virtual Machine for  SOA Suite and BPM Suite 11g

    Hello,
    I checked the download checksum of the files downloaded for Pre-built Virtual Machine for  SOA Suite and BPM Suite 11g ( Pre-built Virtual Machine for SOA Suite and BPM Suite 11g ) and they all match checksums.
    however, when I try to assemble them with 7zip, I get a corrupt error message.  I have tried downloading with Chrome and Internet Explorer.  I have also tried assembling the 7zip files different ways.
    Is there anything else I should try?
    Running on Windows 7, 64 bit machine.  (with lots of disk space).
    Is there any other way to get the files?
    thank you.

    thanks for the response
    I guess I will have to do that as well.
    However, it defeats the speed with which can ramp up with the toolset;  thus slowing my time I can allocate to learning it...

    Did you ever install Acrobat? It is not installed automatically with CS, but requires an extra installation step.

  • How do I fix activation failure for Creative Suite 5.5 when transferring from XP computer to Windows 8.1?.

    How do I fix an activation failure for Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard? I uninstalled this from my old XP computer and re-installed it on Windows 8.1 two weeks ago. I am in NZ and got error message #129.17. I used the recommended fix of changing the time zone when I did the transfer and this seemed to work, but today when I tried to use Acrobat Pro I got the activation failure message with the same error code again. This time the fix doesn't seem to work. Is there anything else I can try?

    Hi Sven,
    Welcome to Adobe Forum,
    Please delete the C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Adobe\AAMUpdater directory.
    Rename the C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\OPM.db to OPM.old
    Then please try reopening your web browser and downloading and installing the Creative Cloud application fromhttps://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud.
    Or you can try:
    Until this gets sorted out, here are the Creative Cloud direct download links...  As/when needed, you can use these to download the Windows or Mac OS installers for any CC program without using the Adobe Desktop App manager.
    Please refer to : http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-creative-cloud-installation-download .html
    Hope it helps you.

  • Why has my certificate for Creative Suite 5.5 been 'revoked'?

    Why has my certificate for Creative Suite 5.5 been 'revoked'?

    These are primarily user to user forums so it is likely no one here will have information to explain why your certificate has been revoked.  You need to contact Adobe support directly thru chat or by phone to get an explanation and resolve the matter.
    For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

  • Does anyone know where I can get a download for Creative Suite 3? Please Help!

    I have been
    asking everywhere and so far haven't found a download site for Creative Suite 3.  My computer crashed and I lost all of my files.  When I went to try to reinstall my program I found everything to do it except the install disc (I have the code and serial number and the two other discs).  I have called customer service and they were absolutely no help at all... the only thing they could do was try to sell me CS5... there is no way I can aford to buy a new program.  I looking for someone who is willing to share a download or their install disc.  Can some one please help me?

    You cannot as there is no legal way to purchase a downloadable version of Logic Pro 9 any longer. Apple no longer sell it...
    However you could purchase a used copy of the FULL boxed version (Make sure it is not the more common upgrade version) of Logic Studio 2.0 which included Logic Pro 9 via ebay or somewhere similar...

  • Need replacement disc for Creative Suite CS3 Design Standard

    My hard drive on my MacBook Pro is crapping out on me and refuses to let me make a full bootable backup so I can replace the disk. Problem is that I've foolishly managed to lose my physical disks for Creative Suite CS3 Design Standard so I can't do a reinstall. Can anyone on the forum help? Thanks in advance.

    If you still have your serial number somewhere, you may call Adobe Tech Support and provide them with the details that you have. If you are really nice to them, they may send you a replacement disc. Good Luck.

  • I need to upgrade my plug ins for Creative Suite 6. What does this mean and how do I do it?

    I need to upgrade my plugins for Creative Suite 6. What does this mean and how do I do it?

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what are you seeing the exclamation point?  When you double click on a thumbnail?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • Requirements for Creative Suite 4

    We have a Apple iMac G4/1.0, w/ OS X upgrade & an added 1GB RAM. Do you think we have the minimum requirements for Creative Suite 4?

    Hello Sgtgold30 and welcome to discussions,
    " Do you think we have the minimum requirements for Creative Suite 4? "
    I doubt that buying, installing and using this software is going to be a pleasing experience on that particular Mac. The following " specs " are pasted from the Adobe website...
    Mac OS
    PowerPC® G5 or multicore Intel® processor
    Mac OS X v10.4.11–10.5.4
    Java™ Runtime Environment 1.5 required for Adobe Version Cue® Server
    1GB of RAM or more recommended
    10.3GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional hard-disk space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on flash-based storage devices)
    1,024x768 display (1,280x800 recommended) with 16-bit video card
    Some GPU-accelerated features require graphics support for Shader Model 3.0 and OpenGL 2.0
    DVD-ROM drive
    QuickTime 7.4.5 software required for multimedia features
    Broadband Internet connection required for online services
    It might just work. It might take hours and hours to work though.
    Regards.
    Ian.

  • Where are the Extensions for Creative Suite 4?

    it's all in the title, where are the Extensions for Creative Suite 4? CS4 or CS3 or AS2 or AS3...

    Hi Patricia,
    In order to support the new Omniture workflows, we had to use some new CSXS features and Flash Pro features that were implemented in CS5 only for these extensions to work. Specifically, in Flash Pro, to enable new communication workflows between the design view and CSXS panels, we've introduced several new events that are triggered from design view to update the panels.
    We cannot backport these events to CS4, as this would be a very costly endeavor with limited applicability. In order to use the extensions, we recommend you moving to CS5. Aside from the extensions, you'll get also more than 250 great features, more speed, etc.
    Regarding the AS2 or AS3 support - we have both for the Flash Pro Test&Target extension, and we only support AS3 for the SiteCatalyst extension.
    I hope this helps,
    Sincerely,
    Alexandru
