Recommendation

I am planning on purchasing a Inspiron notebook ASAP for my small business and need some advice. I run primarily Photoshop and Ilustrator dealing with rather large graphics and photos/renderings. What affects the performance more in this type of usage, memory or the processor speed? Would a Gig of RAM and a 2ghz processor be better or 2Gigs of RAM and a 1.8Ghz processor? Also, would a 128mb video card be sufficient or would I realize significant performance difference with a 256? I do no gaming, just primarliy the above mentioned graphics programs. I'm needing to get as much bang for the buck with a new business budget and I'm sure I could get more power for the money in a desktop but need the portability for client presentations.
Thanks...D

    Photoshop and Illustrator shouldn't profit from a better graphics card. 2 Gigs of RAM will give you more performance when you work with very big pictures. I suggest that you take a 7200 rpm Harddrive, the performance increase is noticeable. And take a look at the Latitude D810.
