Sounds like the standard combo drive and an extra 512Mb RAM chip will accommodate you. I ran Photoshop on 768Mb RAM for years editing digital images without much sweat, so don't get worked up over Photoshop. Neat Image still gives me a progress bar with 4G RAM installed on my G5DP 2GHz. In Photoshop with 1G+ RAM installed RAM you can turn on the Bigger Tiles.plugin by removing the "~" from in front of it's title which allows Photoshop to process data in bigger blocks. No matter the amount of installed RAM, Photoshop will always write to disk, so a scratch disk will help. With iBook, I had a 4G first partition on an external 7200 Firewire HD assigned as a Photoshop scratch disk and Bridge cache. Partitioning a single HD for a Photoshop scratch disk is about useless...jf
