Caveats: NONE
Both Photoshop and Dreamweaver are memory hogs. I make due with
Dreamweaver and connecting FTP sites as drives (in lieu of Filezilla).
I also tend to use Photoshop Elements to lighten the load and because it
has that great feature that lets you combine multiple photos for a
single "good" shot. Also, if you have an AGP graphics card with a small
amount of onboard RAM (most likely in a laptop) that second monitor is
chewing up system RAM as well. Load as much RAM as you can get. I have
a HP Compaq nx9420 with 2GB of RAM. I typically run Dreamweaver, Visual
Studio, Word, IE6, and Firefox. VS is the first thing I close (if I am
working in Flash or Photoshop).
At home it is similar with a PowerBook and 2GB of RAM. =20

Subject: For Web Masters/ Designers
For those of you who are web designers, web masters, I'm curious: what
kind of hardware are you using?
I find that when I am working on our web site, I can often have open:
Dreamweaver, Lightroom, Photoshop, Word, Filezilla, media player,
Firefox and may be a few other programs open - as well as trying to
drive two monitors, and my poor little laptop just can't handle it.
What kind of rig do you all use?
