Need a new computer - have PS cc

I have PS CC and am thinking of a new computer.   I am not technical and have looked at the system requirements and am trying to match up with some affordable options.   I want a desktop
Here are 2 options but I am confused as they state Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon - Pentium 4 seem to be getting phased out by intel icore 3, 5 etc.    Would PS CC work on the following machines? - Including the 3D bit - I don't know how to decide if they have Open GL 2.0 capable systems
Any help would be appreciated

At the moment I have an Acer Aspire - it's 3 years old and I am running Windows 7 it's a 64 bit machine.   I use photoshop with many layers to produce  - I also use Paint Shop Pro  I don't use it for photography but mainly for many layered taggins, email, animations etc.  Uploading my siggie tags to Photobucket and Fotki also the usual general stuff MS office, Word, Excel, One Note.     My husband has an old Acer which is so slow - it has less than 1gb RAM and it's still running on Vista     My thoughts were if we are going to replace his I may as well get one that will fulfill my needs too should my machine go down.   I am a mod in a couple of taggers forums and have to be able to produce things    Forgot to say I use all photoshop 2014 CC including 3D.   My budget is about £350 tops - I am in UK
My present machine spec is this
Acer Aspire X5400   AMD Athlon II X4   3 GHZ Processor   RAM 4 GB    64 bit o/s with NVidia Geforce
Video Card Vendor:    NVIDIA Corporation
Renderer:             GeForce 315/PCIe/SSE2
OpenGL Version:       3.3.0
GLU Version:          1.2.2.0 Microsoft Corporation
This is what I have just made in PS to give you an example - Hope this information helps

    You need to upgrade OS X.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks/Yosemite- System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • I own a powerpc G5 2.1ghz PPC and have itunes 9.2.1. Netflix through my Apple TV streams only Vol 2 of MI-5, even though 9 volumes exist. any solutions? or do i need a new computer meeting apple tv tech requirements?

    do i need a new computer, or is there a work around

    I don't think that is completely correct, Allan. Netflix streaming doesn't have anythign to do with your computer hardware. Yes, if you want to stream content from iTunes it must meet the hardware specs, but the OP isn't talking about that.
    To the OP, scroll up to the top of the episode list and select the "other seasons in this series" option. Then you'll be able to see the other 8 volumes.

  • I need a new computer.  What do you think of the new Lion?

    I need a new computer.  Should I go for the new LION?  21" ? I have had a Dell? 

    My guess is WZZZ and I don't agree on Lion. IMHO it's stable and a great OS. While it does have Launchpad as a feature which is very iPad like, Launchpad does not need to be used. I've been using Lion since it's inception and have found it to be simply the next evolution of OS X having migrated from Tiger to Leopard to Snow Leopard and now Lion.
    If you need a new computer any new iMac would be a fine choice, which one is right for you would depend on how you intend to use the computer. WZZZ is spot on on the refurbs too, some 2010 models may still be available and some do come with Snow Leopard on it which you can update to Lion if you want. That update would be free as part of Apple's Lion - Up-to-date program.
    Transitioning to OS X is pretty easy however to make that transition easier you may find these bookmarks useful.

  • Help to get my photo art edit software working in my new computer.i saved a backup before my old computer died. i have a new computer now, and is what i backed up, all i need to make my new computer have what i had in my old/dead computer?

    help. am not a tech savvy person.
    i do art with a win vista computer filledwith photoshop cs3 and tons uf unbelievable plugins that were given to me by a now deceased ps wizard.
    that computer died. i now have a new computer, but it is of no value to me without the same art setup that i backed up into an ext hard drive.
    i have wetechies @ 300 usd/year trying to remotely do that. day 2, so far no success.
    i cannot afford to buy all that. i have cancer also, and with 6 months to live, friends have generously bout me a great computer for my art needs.
    but i need more than a computer. and i need more than photoshop. i need the programs n things in my plugins .
    does anyone know how to do that?
    my wetechies from india are on day two, and ony have given me a 1.16 kb pd icon!  then asked me if that was fine.
    i said  to them it is fine if it works! which it did not.
    tody is day 2, person 2 attempting this.
    is this an impossible feat?
    they are not familiar with plugins, but they do comp tech stuff.
    my cs3 extended and the plastic case bearing the serial #, bought for 900 usd, were stolen the night i was in the hospital having my mastectomy.
    i had the ps3 inside the plastic case in my living room drawer. when i came home, there  was a psc ( not extended )  in one of the 2 computer drawers.
    i am not sure why. but in the second drawer was my chest xray from the hospital???? i suppose ,since i never looked at it myself, it may have had my personal info needed for the thief to pose as me. also, my purse, with passport,all forms of id and my keys, were stolen on another day . but i have bad credit, so good luck to them.
    i want to spend my remaining time doing art. I even entered an art competition for charity. sponsored by Lilly oncology.
    i know of no one who did art in my building at the time which was in florida, where i was having my chemo and radiion, and first surgery.
    that computer, was broken, by someone trying to fix it. perhaps the only person i know who wopuld have an interest in the plugins as he was a photog and was familiar with the photog and ps wizard who supplied me my art stuff.
    wheredo i go from here, inexpensively, i was gifted the computer of my choice. it is awesome for art. but i wanta photoshop in it, which i do not use for much, but i do use the plugins.
    question-  is it true that my new 64 bit computer with win7 is compatible with cs3 and higher? as well as plugins tha are 32bit not 64 bit?@

  • New computer, have to rebuy photoshop?

    Hello, I've had Photoshop CS2 for awhile now, and finally decided to upgrade to a new computer. I'm just wondering if I have to rebuy it, or if I can use my key that I got with the box to confirm it on that computer. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    Along with the previous suggestions and comments, if your CS2 is an upgrade, make sure to have the installation disc from the earlier version handy, as it might be needed, when you install CS2 on the new box. It's always easier to gather that sort of stuff up, before you get into an installation routine.
    Good luck,

  • I need a new computer but not sure what to get, im on a budget

    This may sound dorky and a little nerdy but, It is time that I buy a new computer.  It has been such a long time since I have bought one, and even then I didnt make the purchase my ex-wife did.  The deal is this....I am a major World of Warcraft geek.  So one would expect that I know what kinda computer I should buy.  Not the case.  I need to know what I should look for when I am purchasing a computer strictly for the purpose of playing World of Warcraft.  I dont have a ton of money to spend and I am going to get the computer from Best Buy because, well frankly, I have a lot of gift certificates for there.  So in short I need a solid computer for gaming, have a limited budget and I dont care if its a desktop or laptop, all though I would prefer a desktop.  Please if you have any advice to offer I would appreciate it very much. 

    You have bigger problems then looking for a good computer.  A Destruction Warlock at lvl 70.  /shakes head.  LOL, just kidding.  I would recommend going Affliction or Demonology until you hit lvl 80 unless you are leveling strictly through the Random Dungeon tool.  Although even with randoms, Affliction is still completely capable of outperforming Destro locks until the early to mid gear levels of level 80 toons.  Plus, as Affliction your mana is almost endless and there is virtually no downtime to drink and eat between mob pulls while questing.  Two words:  Drain-tank.  Plus its.........wait a minute......we're on a Best Buy site.  Hmmm....got a little bit carried away.
    For a computer system, you don't really need an awesome graphics card to run WoW.  Although with Cataclysm I believe the system requirements will be raised a bit with the ability to fly through Azeroth.  I was actually with a customer today looking for a computer to play Flight Sim on and we found a great ASUS desktop for $499.  4 gigs of ram, with a great graphics card 1.74 Gigs of shared memory.
    I, like others on here, would recommend you purchasing a desktop for computer gaming.  As games grow, their requirements grow larger and desktops give you the best option for a system that you can upgrade.
    I hope this helps........and at least try out my suggestion about re-speccing to Affliction.  Just remember not to Clip your DoTs.  Warlocks are OP.  
    I DO NOT work for Best Buy. I used to be a Geek Squad Agent for 2 years and this is why I am well versed on their policies and procedures, but I do not work for them anymore. My posts are my own opinions and do not represent any opinions of Best Buy. If you do not like my posts, and want to report me, you can do so by clicking this link and reporting me to the moderators.

  • HP Director software needed for new computer with windows 8

    I have a Deskjet 5510 and went from Windows XP to a new computer with Windows 8 (64 bit).  The driver installed when I plugged the printer in, but I haven't been able to find HP Director to install.   I tried to do an install from the website, but it just told me that the driver was already installed correctly.  The Director is a pretty important piece of the printer, can I get it back?

    Hi, due to the age of the printer HP does not support 5510 in Win8.
