PSE to PSCS4

I have a couple of questions

Will I be able to run CS4 on this laptop

Toshiba Satelite A200
Processer - Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core Processor T2390
Operating System - Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit
Memory - 1GB (hoping to upgrade to 2GB early next year)
Graphics - Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 (GL960) (128MB dynamic system video memory and up to 251MB shared video with 1GB system memory)

Secondly I will be a student next year and can get CS4 for less than $300 NZ, should I upgrade or stick with PSE 6 since I have only used it for about a year. I'm kind of thinking since this could be my only time I can get this good deal for several years I should go for it but am not 100% sure

if you want to see how CS4 will run on your laptop, d/l the 30 day trial from adobe and see how it goes.

i can't help with the specs you listed b/c I am clueless on that front. but it seems like people say it's best to have 2gb ram minimum.

It'll be slow as molasses with only 1gb memory (if it'll run)

I'd upgrade my RAM first then upgrade to CS4

thats my plan if I go for CS4 - I'm hoping to get the RAM in Jan/Feb then get CS4 in June when I finish my course

Sounds like a cheap price, so it'd be hard to pass up LOL! I'd definitely upgrade the RAM first for sure, which it sounds like you will. Hope you get it!
