Question about my Dell Desktop and Adobe Photoshop!?

Question

I have a Dell Dimension Desktop 2400. I'm not sure what processor we have, or even if we have one! But if I didn't buy a new processor and what not, would Photoshop still be compatible with my computer?

Answer 1

Yes you have a processor in the Dell 2400. It is a Pentium 4. To know exactly what hardware you have inside your computer, such as processor,(size, kind, how fast in MHz, etc.), Ram,(again, size, kind, speed, etc.), graphics, motherboard, operating system, and on, just download the tenny little program CPU-Z from CPUID.com. It'll tell you! Then you can compare processor speed, and ram size, plus graphics, to know what version of Photoshop you can run. With 1GHz of ram,(if the 2400 takes that much, probably does), you should be able to run up to CS2. I believe CS3 will take more. Seems like the 2400 has support for up to a 3.0GHz processor, so you might have one this size, but it can be from 1.6GHz to 3.0GHz Intel Pentium 4 ,(Socket 478 style), if memory serves. I ran Photoshop 7 on a Pentium III, 900MHz processor,(1000MHz=1GHz,[approximately, it's figured in different values, but this is real close!), with 256MB's of ram. Your computer should run CS,(Photoshop 8), CS2,(Photoshop 9), if it has a 1.6GHz processor, and at least 1GB of ram.
EDIT: NOT all versions of Photoshop, are compatible with all computers. You can't, even, run CS3 on a Windows98SE computer with 64MB's of ram, and a 266MHz processor! Read the minimum system requirements, for each version of Photoshop you're looking at, to see if it's compatible!

You instructor is flat out incorrect. he or she would not understand what he or she is speaking approximately. I quite have a Dell Inspiron and it has on it and working advantageous, Photoshop components 6 and eight, Photoshop CS2 and CS5. The computer is sixty 4-bit with abode windows 7 which additionally runs 32-bit courses merely advantageous. PSE 6, 8 and playstation CS2 are 32-bit courses. CS5 is put in as 32 AND sixty 4-bit as some third occasion plugins do no longer artwork interior the sixty 4-bit software. you're unfastened to study this to your instructor. the two eliminate and reinstall your components OR reset the alternative record (try this commonly used). To reset the alternative record, press and carry the Ctrl+Alt+Shift keys on launching of PSE. while asked approximately deleting a record, specific. enable it flow forward and start up then close. Restart components and it will rebuild the alternative record.
