    It might run, doubt it would run very well. With photoshop 5 my intel celly with 512DDR ram struggles a bit but i'm not so sure about photoshop 7. My guess would be no

    runs fine on my old athlon 700 with 512mb ram, 256 should run, but it might be a bit sluggish with larger images, and things like gaussian blurs might be a bit slow

    It'll run, but dont expect it to be speedy. Basic image editing shouldnt be effected too much, but dont expect to be using advanced filters and have them complete in an acceptable time.

    Yeh agent is right - it depends totally on what your gonna do with photoshop.

    For editing web images 400 x 200 @ 72ppi it will be fine.
    For editing large photos 3000 x 2000 @ 300ppi - it will die itself to death and you may as well put the kettle on after every mouse click.

    Is that like killing somebody until they're dead?

    Yeah it'll run, but start using big images and you'll soon find you're outta ram and cpu time.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    PS7 runs fine on my Epia M2 (1ghz / equiv to a p3-500 if being generous) with 512mb - but if you're messing around with huge images then expect to wait - it's mainly about the memory I reckon, PS isn't going to suddenly pop-up and say "er, excuse me, I'm sorry I can't do that you're computer's too slow..." it'll just take longer to think about things...

    Hmm i found that CS ran noticably slower on our college Dell workstations P4 2.4Ghz 512mb Rdram than PS 6.

    I dont know if i was imagining things . Seems strange to me.
