Hi everyone,

I decided to search for a new computer because my laptop is starting to slow down a bit due to the amount of graphics and designing software.

I simply wanted to ask what type of computer is best for graphic/photoshop use?

Does it matter, or should I just look for a computer that offers enough memory?

Also, I'm thinking of going with Windows XP or apple. I've never used Apple before, but right now my laptop has windows vista and is not working well for me.

Let me know your thoughts. Please & thank you!

Oh, and I was thinking more on a desktop/pc than laptops. I'm not sure though.

Well,

Before anyone jumps in and tries to shove computer parts down your throat. You should answer a few questions. (one of them you've already answered)

What do you need your computer to do?
Do you need a monitor(if so, any preferences)?
What OS do you want installed on the machine (XP, Vista, Max OSX, Linux)?
Do you need a keyboard or mouse?
Do you want a warranty?
Do you want mobility?
What's your budget?
