| High speed dual core by far. A Phenom X3 720 or E8400/E8500 will destroy the Q6600 as Photoshop is not threaded. http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/d...-CS-3,826.html

| I think CS4 is? Depends which version you get, if I'm correct that is. I'll go have a google. Edit: Ok, I had a quick look: It seems that some, not all, but a lot more in CS4 than CS3, filters are multithreaded. (see list below) I think what I was thinking of though is that it is now capable of GPU acceleration, to stop Quote:
Not sure if that affects your reccomendation Carbon? Credit to mortifiedPenguin on techreports.com for this one. Quote:

| Even so clock speed will provide a benefit across the board for everything and a decent compromise is the X3 720. The Q6600 is outdated, even by Intel's scheme.
