Default imac - just want to double check!

Im getting an imac at the beggining of January and will be running the following:

Photoshop CS3
Illustrator CS3
Flash CS3
Dreamweaver CS3

I wont be using all programs at once...at the most just TWO at a time.

Will the 2.0GHz with 2gb of RAM be sufficient and ok for this type of usage?

Oh, and are there any other programs I should get for design work? (imagine money is no option - Im just interested)

Thanks in advance,


Phil Johns

Should be fast enough if you're running leopard. You may need a decent html editor, I like html taco

Also check out the 'free mac software lists' all over the net, things like cyberduck etc are all good to have.

Buy a few good font sets don't rely on all free fonts.

Thanks Toon, I'll be looking into using taco! I assume Leapord will come with the imac...wilk I have to double check or do the imacs ordered from apple themselves automatically come with it?

Is after effects used for the small special effects added to videos?

Oh right, thanks Ian.

Can someone fill me in on how useful After Effects CS3 would be to me? Ive watched the adobe preview of it and I am interested in creating and editing movies/flash files
