Slightly OT: optimal PC for TCS2 / CS3 use

[David A Starr]

A semiconductor drive (RAM vs magnetic disk) will turbocharge the system 
at about the same price as the TB drive. 
You may not have room for files that should have been archived long ago - 
but it will bootup in seconds, not minutes.

Optimal will be a Core-duo 2.66MHz or 3 and above.
If you are running Win 7 which you should rather than Vista, try to go 
for 64-bit. 32-bit will work fine. Max your RAM 4 GB would be good, 
though with 64-bit you could actually use more. And a humongous hard 
drive. Look for 1 TB as a good working arrangement.

requirements spec'd by Adobe for TCS2: P4 (single core) 3.2GHz w/ 3GB RAM 
running WinXP. However...in reality, dealing with TCS2 and docs that are 
hundreds of pages long and chock full of graphics, there is significant 
wait time even just to page-down through the file, generate the book, make 
a PDF, etc... and there are frequent crashes and lock-ups. I think the 
minimal specs usually are intended for the most basic ability to run the 
given program at all. However, I don't find anywhere any recommendations 
for optimal performance. Does anyone have any...?
