yeah, and unless you have cs4 or cs5, you don't see any gains. those
are the only photoshop versions that support gpu acceleration.

No worries. I played the same game with her machine as you are now,
and sadly the video card seemed to make little difference on its own.
RAM and proc have a big impact on rendering.

Thanks... The specs on the Precision workstation I'm looking at are as
follows:
Dual Core Processor Core i3-540, 3.06GHz
Genuine Windows® 7 Professional, No Media, 64-bit, English
1.0GB NVIDIA® Quadro® 600, Dual MON, 1 DP & 1 DVI
250GB SATA 3.0Gb/s,7200 RPM Hard Drive with 8MB DataBurst Cache™
He doesn't do a *lot* of rendering... just a few times per week,
but when he
does, he needs a machine that can do it.
According to CPUz, the Graphics interface is a PCIE-x16....that's
kinda what
led me to think about upgrading the graphics card. It's only a 512
Mb video
card, and I was thinking maybe a 1 Gig card might be better...but
I thought
I'd better ask here first. :-)

By the by, the specs on her machine: Win 7 x64, Core2 Duo 2.8 GHz,
and 8 GB
RAM with an NVidea card with 1 GB of VRAM...but she does a lot of
rendering.
I'd venture to guess the occasional PS rendering could be happy on
4 - 6 GB
RAM...depending on the size of what's actually being rendered.

About any "desktop" you buy now would be better than what they are
currently
using. The real question is what do they need? My fiance' does a
lot of
3-D rendering in, and I ended up upgrading memory, video, and
processor to
meet her needs.
The real question is how often does marketing person actually do 3D
renders? Why would they need a, more expensive, gaming laptop to
accomplish
this?

Assuming (just for arguments sake...not planning on this right

order a new PC for the marketing guy, would you recommend a

Dell XPS
laptop configured for gaming.
